Installation
Math extension
- Extension:Math - The Math extension provides support for rendering mathematical formulae.
- An overview of what can currently be done with this extension is found at the English Wikipedia's documentation.
- More information about installing and configuring this extension, including for older versions, can be found at Extension:Math/advancedSettings.
texvc
- Texvc - One of the external programs to display mathematical formulas in MediaWiki. texvc is a shortened version of TeX validator and converter. It validates AMS-LaTeX mathematical expressions and converts them to HTML, MathML, or PNG graphics.
