[Mediawiki-l] math support in Mediawiki 1.2.6

Tue Aug 31 02:03:45 UTC 2004

Hi,

I have installed Mediawiki 1.2.6 on my website and wish to make use of the math support.  However, when I type in mathematical expressions, or copy-and-paste expressions from other wikis where the math support is working, the code simply shows up in the page without being interpreted.  I have contacted the webhosting company I use, and they say that the server is running Red Hat Linux, and that Imagemagick, TeTex and Ghostscript are installed.

I haven't been able to find any documentation about what it is necessary to do to get the math support up and running.  I read the readme files and googled some likely keywords.  If such documentation exists, I would appreciate being pointed to it.

The wiki seems to be working properly otherwise.  I have made an example page for mathematical expressions here: http://www.strangeattractor.ca/wiki126/index.php?title=Sandbox

I would appreciate advice or suggestions.

Thanks,

Ellen
