Extension:FormelApplet/1.0n

What can this extension do?
Add a FormelApplet to your MediaWiki page.

The status of this extension has changed from experimental to beta, because FormelApplet now is successfully in use by other wikis. I am waiting for error reports.

Add a FormelApplet tag to your MediaWiki page
The following tag will add a FormelApplet to your MediaWiki page:

Use parameter 'term' to get a FormelApplet for output. Use parameter 'solution' to get an FormelApplet for input.

Examples
You may pass the term to be rendered directly as a parameter like this:

Alternatively you may put the content of the term parameter into a file "myFile.fas", upload the fas-file to your MediaWiki and pass the filename to the applet using the term parameter like this:

Use parameter 'solution' to get an FormelApplet for input (passing solution using a *.fas-file).

You can also pass other FormelApplet parameters. Example (smaller font size):
