Be careful to note that you are using U+2211 N-ary Summation (∑)
rather than U+03A3 Greek Capital Letter Sigma (Σ).

Note also that Murray Sargent's "nearly plain text" includes
characters to distinguish the N-ary-and. (It's not quite TeX, but it's
an interesting input format, especially for interactive use. MS Word
will replace the text "\sum " with "∑", on-the-fly and consuming the
space.)
