Hey folks, remember this discussion from a few months ago? I've gone ahead and implemented the initial part for 1.19 (disabled the math rendering options other than PNG and source), and opened another bug entry with some details on how to add the baseline shifting that should make PNGs nicer inline:
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32694> While I'm mucking about in there, I'd like to note that I'm also interested in making higher-resolution images, suitable both for printing and for high-density screens (iPhone 4 being the best-known example in use in the wild). Generating another PNG or two should be easy; getting them to display reliably might be slightly funkier. :) <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=32696> When I've got something working for that I'll check around to make sure it works consistently for people and doesn't break any tools. -- brion On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 11:38 AM, Brion Vibber <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, I've set up an RfC page on MediaWiki.org which'll be easier to comment > on for folks not on the lists: > > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Reduce_math_rendering_preferences > > and added some links, comments & requests for further feedback at: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#RFC:_Should_MW_developers_drop_the_rendering_preferences_for_math.3F > > I'd also appreciate if folks who know some of the math-heavy editors who > work on other projects -- other languages, or wikibooks/wikiversity etc -- > can poke around and get more feedback. > > In addition to the immediate issue of tweaking the rendering modes, > there's been some good feedback about related issues such as the lack of > proper baseline alignment of the math PNG images, which should be taken > into account for the next set of improvements on Math -- improving or > replacing texvc with another tool, maybe dusting off Blahtex and making > sure it does everything we need, etc. > > -- brion > _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
