Against this, the plugin could do caching at the xwiki level. This would also enable the very famous js-finety of MathTran that can adjust baselines (because it can then parse the png header). Pluggeability is dangerous: if you change the thing it might break all the fomrulæ but I guess it's acceptable. > But as MathTex supports pluggable renderers, a MathTran renderer can > be also added if required.

You can certainly do that but there's very little to be done. MathTran can also be compiled on your own server... >> Could you provide a web-page about the MathTeX plugin. > > You can find some demos here (temporary page) : > http://midpath.thenesis.org/bin/view/Main/MathTexPlugin > >> MathTeX seems >> to be a name that is used for several different things, among others >> a cgi script. > > The MathTex plugin is not related to libraries with similar names.

Then just choose "XWiki TeX Plugin" I would suggest. paul _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
