Hi!
I've been adding equations to pages using the equation tool. The problem I keep encountering is I can't seem to resize these equations. I can do it when they're just sitting freely on the page, but when I put them inside a table it appears there's no way to do it. I resize them, then when I go to look at the page after saving they haven't changed in size.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks!

That question wasn't specifically about equations in tables, but I did explain several ways to resize equations. It should work inside tables unless you have specific formatting on the table that overrides it.
Hey @Fraser_UK !
I am experiencing the same issue. I have tried to make some changes to the HTML as well as adjust the cell sizes within the table. Every time I save the edits the equation appears resized for a fraction of a second when the page loads and then reduces to the normal size. It is like there is something overriding the change of size in the code. I would suggest contacting support if you have not done so yet and see what they have to say.
