Extension:Math

Math extension provides support for rendering mathematical formulas on-wiki via texvc. It was a part of the core MediaWiki software until MediaWiki 1.18, r85706. See also the related bug, bug #14202 on Bugzilla.

Installation

 * 1) Download the files into
 * 2) Compile texvc ( Don't have permission to compile code in your environment? read the section below )
 * 3) Add the following to LocalSettings.php:

The following variables can be defined in LocalSettings.php after calling require_once("$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"):

MathJax
For 1.19/1.20, the Math extension supports rendering via MathJax, a client-side JavaScript library for parsing latex or mathml code and producing in-browser representation using the browser's HTML or native MathML or SVG support.

This provides math renderings that can render sharper (using subpixel antialiasing) and larger (scaling up for zoomed view, printing, or high-resolution screens).

Set $wgUseMathJax to enable MathJax rendering mode; it is still somewhat experimental. For now, users will have to opt in to MathJax on their preferences. In the future we hope to make it the default rendering mode.
