Continued fraction article and choice of math markup

In the Continued fraction article, you have changed the math markup from the likes of {{mvar|n}} to <math>n</math>, but it is easier to cut and paste from the former (text) than the latter (image). Perhaps the text wasn't so bad? 𝕃eegrc (talk) 14:34, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

In the Continued fraction article, I changed the markup of the text to match the font and symbols in the equations. Also, I think that <math>n</math> produces a more legible article. Mindotaur (talk) 11:36, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics#Typesetting of mathematical formulae:

Large scale formatting changes to an article or group of articles are likely to be controversial. One should not change formatting boldly from LaTeX to HTML, nor from non-LaTeX to LaTeX without a clear improvement. Proposed changes should generally be discussed on the talk page of the article before implementation. If there will be no positive response, or if planned changes affect more than one article, consider notifying an appropriate Wikiproject, such as WP:WikiProject Mathematics for mathematical articles.

Please reconsider whether going page to page to convert to <math>…</math> formatting is appropriate. 𝕃eegrc (talk) 18:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics#Typesetting of mathematical formulae. I see your point and in the future will discuss potential article modifications in the corresponding talk page.
