Created page with "MediaWiki supports the display of mathematical formulas. == Summary == "How does math markup in MediaWiki work? It takes LaTeX math expression and converts them into ima..."

New page

[[MediaWiki]] supports the display of mathematical formulas.

== Summary ==

"How does math markup in MediaWiki work? It takes LaTeX math expression and converts them into images using texvc. The texvc source comes with MediaWiki, but you’ll have to compile it yourself. Since texvc is partly written in OCaml, you’d need to install OCaml on your server just to compile it. However, there’s an easier way: just go to MediaWiki’s SourceForge site and download texvc binary. If the binary doesn’t work for you, however, you’ll have to download OCaml and compile your own binary. Once you have the texvc binary, put it in the/math/ folder of your MediaWiki installation."
