Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Reading/Functional and beautiful math for everyone
Functional and beautiful math for everyone
- Problem:The math extension has a lot of bugs, missing features and deficiencies due to the output being images rather than text-like. Most math related websites like math.stackexchange.com use "MathJax out of the box" and do not have these problems. Re-submission of Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Reading/Functional and beautiful math for everyone
- Who would benefit: Readers and editors of mathematical articles, books etc.
- Proposed solution: In a commission of interested volunteers we came up with a road-map to remove the problematic conversion of "texvc" to standard LaTeX syntax. For a state-of-the-art rendering system we also need to improve the output format. Making it more like "MathJax out of the box" might need additional infrastructure (e.g. to supply web-fonts), needs a long-term maintenance concept and has to work together with almost all software components, so we would like WMF staff to help us.

- An example of missing mathematical notation is that required for actuarial functions. See phab:T175673 . -Stelio (talk) 20:16, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
