Hi Paulo,
Glad to hear you are actively monitoring MathJax. I've tried your
plugin and personally really liked it, I should have mentioned that in
my original post. However, if I understood the plugin correctly, it
does require internet access. The TiddlyWiki adaptation I'm helping
with needs to function offline. I agree that it would be preferable
to hold to the TiddlyWiki philosophy of maintaining only one file, but
with trying to get both LaTeX and offline capabilities with at least
IE7, 8, and FF, I suspect its not feasible for this adaptation.
Maybe once MathJax is more mature it can be also be loaded from online
resources as an alternative and that way indirectly comply with the
TiddlyWiki philosophy.
On a side note, I was using your plugin, MathSVG, and was wondering.
Is there an easy way to get \begin{pmatrix}... \end{pmatrix}, and
bmatrix etc to work? I suspect that there is but I'm such a beginner
that I didn't get it right when I tried. I understand that currently
I don't really need the alignment parameters for \begin{array} but I'd
like the LaTeX code to be compliant so I can simply copy paste it into
a LaTeX document when I need a more formal documentation than a
tiddler. That was one of the other small sticking points I had.
That, and I found it really attractive that MathJax intends to
implement \newcommand which I like using for defining shortcuts.
Again, I really appreciate both the work you've done on MathSVG and on
the bibliography plugin. Good stuff and please keep up the good
work :). The bibliography problem I ended up solving differently with
a macro and exporting from JabRef, but I had different goals in mind.
I was thinking of merging the two plugins. If I do, I'll be sure to
let you know, hopefully you'll like it.
Thanks
- David
