The double star came out OK but the chevron is interpreted with color containers 3-levels deep.

So beware using the Python chevron then. We didn't use to have these problems right?

Another test:

2**200 # no chevron this time.

Fixed width:

M1 = 2**2-1 = 3
M2 = 2**3-1 = 7
M3 = 2**5-1 = 31
M4 = 2**7-1 = 127
M5 = 2**13-1 = 8191
M6 = 2**17-1 = 131071
M7 = 2**19-1 = 524287
M8 = 2**31-1 = 2147483647

Do I lose the double star? The Mersenne Primes cut and paste from Spyder was somewhat of a disaster.

None of the double stars (exponentiation) rendered. Check attachment/original.

We've lost indentation in Python code.

At the Math Forum we could hit a button to see a more plaintext version of any post, with indentation preserved.

Perhaps something like that (made default view for a Python list?) would address these issues?

What is the experience of other Python listservs I wonder, regarding this upgrade to mailman 3? Any feedback welcome.
