May require texlive-lang-greek package to be installed; but it's only loaded when these bits are used.
Reapplied r87298 plus parser test case to confirm the new chars can render and the existing \digamma hasn't changed.
Reapplied r87284 with a tweak to allow \euro through to conservative HTML output.
Parser test case added to confirm that \euro is HTMLable and the other euro variants are renderable to images.
This commit also includes tweaks to HTMLification of \phi, \varphi, and \varepsilon (conservative HTML) and changes the non-conservative HTMLification of number sets from plain letters to the dedicated Unicode chars for their symbols. These changes are not included in tests, but don't alter what input is supported.
Reapplied r86965 (patch by Thenub314), plus parser test case to ensure that \widetilde{x} actually renders. (While we can't compare the contents of the image, the output hash will remain stable in the img url. Forcing $wgMathPath to a fixed fake path for parsertests.
* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension.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.
