For anyone who runs into this issue, I found a fix. It actually switches back and forth between forms depending on some number of unknown factors. Sometimes it renders differently even when based on the exact same latex code. Whatever.
If you insert "\displaystyle" (without quotes, obviously) into the latex code right before the summation, it seems to always display in the normal, indices above and below the sigma, format. No idea why this works or why it changed - it definitely didn't used to work this way, but there you go. -steve On Apr 3, 8:24 pm, a_guy_named_steve <[email protected]> wrote: > (Posted originally in the google documents help forum.
