LaTex

ST exploring installing LaTex on the web server to support LaTex files.

  1. Question - how big are the files likely to be?
  1. Question - how many owners are likely to use this?

LaTex equations are very brief, rarely more than 256 bytes. LaTex files can be as big as a book, but it seems wise to discourage the non-wiki text formatting that this would enable.

How many owners will use it? Nobody but me, and maybe not even me. Once I found the problem with ogg files, I decided to test other available editing buttons and this one came up broken so I reported it. If a fix is trivial, we might as well have the button work. Otherwise, I advocate skipping it. (A bug is converted to a feature by documenting it.) Plus there is a workaround of using an embedded image like this.

Chris - if you don't mind using the embedded image approach this will be much simpler than for me to try to setup the server to support LaTex.

Okay? ST 06:01, 25 August 2006 (GMT-7)
