Thanks... sorry for the off topic... if I just said use $wgDefaultUserOptions['math'] = 7 that would be somehow pointless. By the way 2 is html (deprecated) and mathjax is 6. 7 includes 6 since you it can be combined with MathJax (as you can see in the demo) but it must not. The advantage to use MathJax based on MathML is that it is reasonably fast. (To my mind that's not the case if you use MathJax without MathML). Furthermore you can display MathML without a need of JavaScript support. A visual editor that is based on MathML would be easier to implement and handle than one that is based on TeX. But I would double think about doing so, since than the Tex source is gone. (OK the same holds for the visual editor in general.) To stick to the topic, which is not visual editor: I fully support the initiative to switch the rendering mode. However, I think we should find a well defined process for doing so. One opportunity could be: 1. Collect the alternatives 2. Compare and benchmark them 3. Discuss the results 4. Make a decision (Maybe even vote oOo) This sounds a bit lengthy... but due to the fact that this bug is open for more than a year now... that might be really quick. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
