That a problem of some versions of TW it was fixed recently (in v2.6.4, as I remember); to get a TW with new core and your content you can download a new TW file (v2.6.5) and import everything from your TW into new one. However, be aware that import can have problems in 2.6.5 (as I remember recently there was a complain at least about importing from the web). > There are a couple things to note: One, it starts up much slower than > before.

Ok, let's see what you'll have with new core version (and Plugin: jsMath's?). Besides, if it's not a secret, what kind of stuff do you write in TW with formulae? Do you write just for others in your company or you make some sort of collaboration via TiddlyWiki? As for the alternative plugins for inserting formulae, consider the following: 0. There are 3 main methods of insertion: generation of iimages, generation of some text which is formatted by some library into what looks as formula and usage of special language which is meant to generate formulae. 1. Generation of images is usually used in servers (because this requires less calculations from them then other methods), such as wikipedia (I know no TW-compatible server with such a thing), and in services, -- among them there's codecogs [1] which can be incorporated in TW [2], [3]. However, codecogs has limitation of usage (see their site). 2. For the second method, there are two well-established libraries: jsMath and MathJax. There were plugins for TW to use both, Plugin: jsMath and PluginMathJax which was located at [4]. However, the site [5] suddenly disappeared and at least 3 beatiful plugins, including PluginMathJax, were lost (though, I haven't asked in the group whether anyone copied any of those plugins or knows anything about the site). But basically both plugins have similar structure and it's better to ask developers about problems rather than seek for something else. 3. The last method I mentioned is actually using of mathML -- a markup language for formulae. Unfortunately, it's not that widely supported (I know only that FireFox has not bad support, Opera has much worse and Opera Mobile has no at all). See [6-9]. But practically I'd say that Plugin: jsMath is the best thing available. [1] http://www.codecogs.com/latex/about.php.
