Here's what I get when I convert $$ \underbrace{xxx\ldots xx}_n $$ from markdown to docx (see attached screenshot). That looks just right to me. I wasn't sure how to interpret your "linear format" strings, so I'm not sure what you're seeing. You can attach a screenshot. Your pandoc is compiled against a recent version of texmath (0.10.1). +++ Emma Cliffe [Jan 22 18 10:08 ]: > Dear John, > Thanks for the information below.
