For consistency, should we put (v) in this line instead of trying to link to the vector "v" png?

[timhoar]

Guess what? Because its in an html table, none of the markdown syntax for highlighting/bolding works - I guess this is not too surprising. So - I just reverted to html ...
V
There is no overbar to denote a vector, but it should get the point across. If this is acceptable, let me know and I'll remove the images/MPAS_V_vector.png file from the repo.

Other than the png italicized "v" on line 114 of Research.md, this PR looks good to me.

[timhoar]

I copied that from the original source. Do you know how to make an inline 'v' that matches the figure? Tim Hoar Data Assimilation Research Section National Center for Atmospheric Research thoar@ucar.edu 303.497.1708

The most commonly used library (as far as I know) for rendering mathematical symbols is called MathJax:
https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax
It will render the symbols properly once converting from markdown to HTML, but will render them in their original LaTeX syntax within Github, so it's not a perfect solution.

[timhoar]

So ... since the (admittedly awkward) solution in place (using a .png) only looks bad when you view the source, not the rendered image or the .html ... what are you proposing? Is embedding LaTeX any better - considering it does not render until converted to .html? I don't know what you want me to do here.

Ah, my apologies -- if the png v renders on the page, I think it's fine. When I was previewing the change the png doesn't show up so it just looks like "( )".

[timhoar]

GRRRRRR..... It renders correctly in ATOM, but it is the wrong size on GitHub ... and changes how 'wrong' based on what size font you are using ... boo hiss grr ...

The revised (V) looks fine by me. I might try to mock up some equations from DART Lab over the weekend to see if it plays nicely with Github.
