Commit summary for MediaWiki.r104498: Disable the partial HTML and MathML rendering options for Math extension. MathML mode was so incomplete most people thought it simply didn't work (bug 25646). HTML modes often rendered poorly (eg req bug 24207 to set default to PNG on some sites) This may cause regressions in that simple "equations" of just variables that came out as HTML will now render as PNGs that don't get aligned properly with the text baseline. Fixing this is covered by bug 32694: <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32694> to retrieve the baseline info from dvipng and position images to fit. Note that because of the way user options are pulled in to the oarser cache key, some folks may see cached pages with their old settings until they get redone or they save their prefs again and have it normalized. Helder.wiki's comment: The list of options on enwiki differs from what is available [http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering on Wikimedia labs]. So I believe when MW 1.19 is deployed, together with the newer version of the extensions, there will be a visible change on Wikimedia wikis, because the default math rendering is not PNG. BTW: Would this change cause any cache problems on big wikis, considering that a lot (?) of formulas would need to be re-rendered in PNG? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
