Hi, my generated text on ChatGPT isn’t formatting properly and it has been going on for over 2 hours now. No amount of regeneration can get it to format properly. Sometimes it does show in the correct format as the text generates but it reverts back to the LaTex format after a few lines. Here are some pictures. ![Screenshot 2024-05-29 123000](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/4X/4/d/2/4d2f1664da6a948ad513fd6e7ff9b2c18ea9b508.png) As you can see in the picture, I have regenerated the response 8 times, and it is still not displayed correctly. What could be the problem here? ---

I found a fix to this issue (at least I hope), basically if you specifically tell it at the end of the message to use LaTex formatting in brackets like this: “-your message- (use LaTex formatting)” it should work every time, or it does for me at least ---
