Hi Javier, you might want to have a look at the math extension.
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FMath/39c785dc30edc044f371f86e9cf2e2d777421992/MathTexvc.php#L204 There you see how it's done for calling texvc. You might also want to consider to use LaTeXML instead of shelling out. LaTeXML covers a wide range of LaTeX (including citations) and can be runs as web-service, that produces MathML. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math#LaTeXML Best Moritz On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 3:14 AM, Javier Bezos <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not sure this is a problem in the server or in MediaWiki. > > I have an extension which calls a bash script with wfShellExec.
