I add the \\ into the formulae and Publish, which is fine and the equation renders fine; I also seem to be able to export it and import it into Blackboard as long as I do not close the LO in the sandpit. If I close the LO, and subsequently select it again and open it via Edit, each time it removes a \ until none is left. The same happens when I log in and out of the sandpit and re-open the LO.

If you do find a way that stops the removal of the dashes, I would be grateful if you could please let me know because it was a useful way of displaying formulae.

For this particular LO, I used LaTex last year, but it is the only time I have used it: It worked fine last year and a few weeks ago when I added the new swf file. I can only vaguely remember how I put this together according to some guidance on the web http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer/ So I did not notice that there where dashes missing from my formulae. For now I will add \\ to the formulae; will this cause a problem at some other stage?
