Hi Scuff, the only plugin that I currently maintain is the MathSVGPlugin. I keep the other one available to anyone who wants to use the ASCIIMath notation.
The ASCIIMath notation was created to provide a simple way for young students to write math on the web. However, for anyone involved in the publishing of math contents, LaTeX turns out to be the 'de facto' standard. ASCIIMath still has a role to play but I don't need it and I decided to no longer support it as it required a duplication of most the code. I think that you can include the ASCIIMathML.js in your TW file provided it is evaluated before the plugin. Give it a try. You are not correct regarding the MathSVGPlugin way of working. This plugin translates LaTeX to MathML without any external dependencies provided that the browser supports MathML (Firefox). Otherwise, it falls back for external conversion into images. -- Paulo Soares On 1 Abr, 11:40, Scuff <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am a new TiddlyWiki user and group member.
