Note about location of texvc during upgrade from Mediawiki 1.18 before extension
If you had customized the location of TeX parser in $wgTexvc in LocalSettings.php for previous version of this service, that global is not read in from the extension in Math.php so it complains about not finding texvc. The extension should check to see if the variable is already set in LocalSettings.php and use that value is present. Instead, that value is now hard coded in the extension. Ubuntu installed with Mediawiki math, for example, has the texvc file located at '/usr/bin/texvc'. One can manually set it, as a workaround, in Math.php in the extension.

 * It is sufficient to define $wgTexvc in LocalSettings.php after calling require_once("$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"); --Moejoe000 07:41, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Localization malfunction
Hello,

I'm having some trouble when non-Englhish characters are place in formulas, like ç, á, ó, é and others. Is that a bug or is it possible for a simple user to fix that?

Thanks in advance.

 * Take a look on meta:Help:Displaying_a_formula and 798. Helder 12:03, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I am interested in fixing this but being a native English speaker with little experience in latex'ing non-english formulas. I could use examples of things that should work.  The current examples in the bug reports only international characters in \mbox{}'s.  When I personally try to switch to a utf-8 input encoding and latex something like $$á$$ I get errors. Any thoughts welcome. Thenub314 16:58, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
