For some of my note types, Latex seems to work fine.
E.g.,
[latex][
a^2 + b^9 = c^2
][/latex]
in a field renders as
Great!
For other of my note types, the same or similar input in a field gives this error:

Transcript written on tmp.log.
myAnkiAll.sty is an old file from an old computer (which got destroyed in a house fire). The new computer was not a reinstall from a time machine backup (backup hard drive also lost in fire), it is a fresh install of everything. I can’t work out why Anki is trying to use this old style file? And why for only some note types? I’m not using any addons.
The Latex preamble, etc., in Options is unchanged from the default, i.e.:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\special{papersize=3in,5in}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath}
\pagestyle{empty}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}
