Upper and Lower Limits not displayed correctly

to{b} {sum x} and from{a} {sum x} from{a} to{b} {sum x} Displays just one line of text, and the limits end up before ths sigma sign instead of at the top and bottom of the summation sigma.
Wrong usage of limits... Correct syntax is: sum x from a to b
Closed, because not a bug.
I was having the same problem. I tried the syntax suggested by mru and it also did not work. I was playing around with the syntax and found one that worked: sum from{n=0} to{7} {256^n} I also feel that this is a bug. While the formatting works as I described above, when you click on the "Upper and Lower Limit", the following syntax is shown which is incorrect: from{<?>} to{<?>} <?> When clicking on this button, I believe the following syntax should have been shown: sum from{<?>} to{<?>} {<?>}
No, because the limits can either be used for different integral types and the sum function.
