specifically it provides the archaic greek letters defined in the
teubner package. WARNING: This package requires the greek language
bable package, which on some linux systems is installed separately
from LaTeX. As a result, texvc doesn't try to load this package
unless one of the archaic greek letters is being used. This ensures
that the new commands do not prevent any of the old functionality from
operating as it did before.
The following new commands are recognized. includes \Coppa, \coppa,
\varcoppa (synonym for \coppa), \Digamma, \Koppa (synonym for \Coppa),
\koppa, \Sampi, \sampi, \Stigma, \stigma, and \varstigma.
For more information see the comprehensive symbols table 280. Note
that this update doesn't effect the current functionality of \digamma.
the euro symbol. This requires the eurosym package be available in
the installed LaTeX distribution. Five new commands are now
recognized by texvc: \euro, \geneuro, \geneuronarrow, \geneurowide,
and \officialeuro. All provide varients of the euro symbol, and \euro
is simply short alias for \officialeuro. In addition some minor
changes have been introduced the html rendering of some math symbols.
The new choices provide html symbols that are higher degree of
similarity in comparison to the corresponding LaTeX symbols.
functions are handled in lexer.mll. In particular lexer.mll failed to
insert a space that, in some cases rendering errors. This bug has now
been corrected.
mathematical function names when translating to HTML; adds support for
the sen, the Spanish name for sin; and corrects a bug that eliminates
spacing around \operatorname{...} in the resulting png. More
specifically, texvc now dectect whether or not a
standard function such as is followed by a delimitier such as (, {, [
etc. and adds a space or not as appropriate. This issue The code has been
reorganized to include a list of standard LaTeX commands whose spacing
rules are the same, and treates them all on an equal footing. It
similarly treats functions defined for mediawiki in the same way it
treats standard latex functions. One addition function is added, \sen,
and others can be added easily if necessary. Finally LaTeX generated
by texvc contained to many braces which altered the spacing created by
the command \operatorname, this has now been corrected. These last
two changes address the issues raised in bug 18912 and the chaning in
translation to HTML address most, but not all, of the issues raised in
bug 6722 .
* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable
math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php:
require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";
This is an initial stab, and a few things remain to be cleaned up:
* messages need to be moved from core to extension
* MW_MATH_* constants should be moved to the extension from core
* old back-compat math names interfaces using those constants should be removed from message files
* classic edit toolbar's math button should be added from the extension (or else dropped) -- currently there's not a clean hook, but could do it by JS
* couple of things like the 'armourMath' function on Language & LanguageConverter may want to be redone just as an unconditional, if that's simpler.
Setting $wgUseTeX alone will no longer have any affect. The var's still there for the moment as a few bits still need to be fully moved out from core.
