           Summary: texvc renders sim relation as tilde in html
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: texvc

In HTML output, Texvc renders the \sim character as a tilde. This leads to
output like that at the bottom of the section 'Simple example' in the following
link (make sure your preferences are set so the math shows up as HTML)

This looks bad because the tilde in many text fonts is set very high above the
baseline, not in the middle of the line like a binary operator should be. 

Examining the HTML output shows that the \sim really is rendered as a tilde
there.

The TeX "sim" operator should be rendered as the "sim" entity, ∼. This is
an HTML 4.0 entity and so it should be supported pretty much everywhere.
