| This is a portion of a message that I sent to PrimeFan after editing his entry in order to make the graphics display correctly:
> Apparently, the problem is that \usepackage{pstricks} needs to be used relatively early in the preamble. I do not know why this makes a difference, but it did the trick. You had the declaration at the very end of the preamble. I moved it so that it was in front of the large block of lines that are commented out.
> This might be a PM bug, and hopefully one that can get fixed relatively easily.
PrimeFan said in his post about this message:
> Wkbj79 thinks the issue has to do with the order of the declarations, and purely from what I've observed in my own entries which he has helped fix, I'm inclined to agree with him.
He also had this suggestion:
> Perhaps the default preamble could be changed to suggest one place for commands (e.g., special operator symbols) and another place for usepackage declarations.
This is a good idea on which I would like to build. As an alternative, I suggest that the default preamble be changed to something along the lines of:
% This is the default PlanetMath preamble. As your knowledge
% of TeX increases, you will probably want to edit this, but
% it should be fine as is for beginners.
% You almost certainly want these:
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
% need the following line (without leading %) for including PSTricks graphics
%\usepackage{pstricks}
% need both the previous and following lines (both without the leading %) for including PSTricks graphics that require axes
%\usepackage{pst-plot}
% need the following line (without leading %) for including eps files
%\usepackage{psfrag}
% need the following line (without leading %) for including graphics via \includegraphics
%\usepackage{graphicx}
% need the following line (without leading %) for neatly defining theorems and propositions
\usepackage{amsthm}
% need the following line (without leading %) for making logically defined graphics
%\usepackage{xypic}
% Add other packages here as you need them:
% Define commands here:
Any thoughts?
