Juan Pablo Santos RodrÃguez commented on JSPWIKI-582:
-----------------------------------------------------
follow up on JSPWIKI-1103, which is focused on more recent JSPWiki development
> Use texvc (or something similar) to render math equations
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JSPWIKI-582
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-582
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plugins
> Affects Versions: 2.8.2
> Reporter: Rene Knuvers
> Priority: Minor
>
> Like Mediawiki, having a rendering engine for mathematical equations would be
> good. Options are MathML (can be used now if plain HTML is allowed, but is
> not widely supported by browsers yet) or a tex-like markup. texvc (see
> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/texvc.1.html) renders a LaTeX
> math equation to a PNG that can in turn will be used to display the math in
> the page.
> Downsides:
> - the rather big LaTeX software should be installed, may create some OS
> dependency.
> - Rendering would not be on request, but on page save, yielding an attachment
> to the page that in turn will be displayed (with the original LaTeX code as
> the 'ALT' text???) so not very consistent with other markup
> Upsides:
> - good results, typographically and also in terms of flexibility
> - another most wanted feature included! ;-)
