Extension:WikiTeX

Development on WikiTeX has been on-going since 2003, and was primarily a means to bring LaTeX notation for objects such as chess, music, math into MediaWiki.

The long-term strategy of WikiTeX is incorporation into the Zend Engine, so as to allow the direct invocation of WikiTeX from within PHP; or even as an Apache handler, so as to immediately translate markup. WikiTeX has been ported from PHP to C for that very purpose.

Installation
Prerequisites are: PHP 5.2+ compiled with cURL and XML-RPC, MediaWiki 1.6+ and mod_tex 0.1

At the command line enter (use the username anonymous and the password is blank): svn checkout http://svn.wikitex.org/wikitex/trunk/ foo chmod 775 cache; chgrp apache cache public static $URL = 'http://modtex.org/modtex/'; require_once("$IP/extensions/wikitex/main.php");
 * Move (or copy) foo/wikitex to wiki/extensions/wikitex
 * Make sure that the cache directory is writable by the web server.
 * Copy wikitex/config/default.php to local.php;
 * Edit local.php to change the modtex server URL line to suit, eg:
 * Add to LocalSettings.php:
