Hello,

this is the error I get when viewing my custom-made Latex cards.

Error during execution of ⁨latex⁩.  
Produced file: ⁨/var/folders/17/fbqjr8n9289gz6d4clsxv3m40000gn/T/anki\_temp/tmp.tex⁩  
Have you installed LaTeX and dvipng/dvisvgm?

And this is the content:

f ist genau dann stetig in (x\_0\in I), wenn für jede Folge ((x\_n)\subset I) mit (x\_{n} \underset{n \rightarrow \infty}{\longrightarrow} x\_{0}) gilt.

[f\left(x\_{n}\right) \rightarrow\_{n \rightarrow \infty} f\left(x\_{0}\right)]

Thanks in advance Simplex

Did you make sure these are installed as the message suggests? Please see [Math & Symbols - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/math.html#latex)

Also, consider using [Mathjax](https://docs.ankiweb.net/math.html#mathjax).
