Nicholas Longo <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Nicholas Longo <[email protected]> 2011-10-14 03:21:36 UTC --- I think mathjax is probably the way to go in the future. Texvc is not very well maintained because on one wants to deal with the ocaml portion. Mathjax could solve several serious issues. For example there is the question of when/how to expire texvc cached math images. Currently nothing is done and if something originally rendered incorrectly then it will be that way forever after, even after texvc is later able to produce the correct image. There is the inline vs displayed math, I am not sure how this is handled by Mathjax, but it cannot be any worse then texvc. Mathjax doesn't have a baseline issue that I am aware of. There is also server load, this transfers work that the servers have to do over to the client side. And no unimportantly Mathjax is widely used and actively developed. Some issues to think about. Texvc supports some commands that are not latex commands, and sanitizes latex input so that we now there are now existing in WMF wiki's non-standard latex that people have come to expect to render, which may have some issues under Mathjax. Also, and perhaps this is a bit naive, but the extension above uses just dollars instead of <math>, if there is a WMF page with randomly lots of dollar signs running around will there be portions of the text that are inadvertently treated as math? I am sure there are many more issues, but I want to add my voice to the idea that we should test out mathjax. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
