Extension:Interwiki question

Best way to get html/parsed...

Hello All, Is there any extension or gadget that can implement "Display/render only one section upon click the table of content of a long page?" This is quite useful. For example, for long article with many LaTeX equations, when using mathjax to do equation rendering, it will take quite long time to finish rendering the whole page. So, if the long article can be displayed/rendered section by section, it will manage the rendering resource and time more properly if people are trying to read that long page section by section. I know long article can be split into short pages and then gathering them by linking. But this is not very convenient. Thanks!

Hello Jiuning, I am not sure if you can use the extension Collapsmi to do that, but you can give it a try. Regards, Sami On 7 January 2012 22:41, Jiuning Hu <hujiuning(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Sami, Thanks for letting me know your extension. It very good. But, it looks that the browser would load the whole page rather than section by section even I use your extension.

Hi Sami, I have some questions about your extension. If I input the following in the wiki edit window, * <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false"> text to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> What is finally displayed on the page is * [+] Expand text to be collapsed ... Looks like anything before <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false"> will kill the functioning of the extension. Also, if I type the following: This is a test. The result is <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false"> text to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> Test at the ending ... It is displayed as This is a test . The result is [+] Expand Test at the ending ... There is a dot appeared there and also those two unwanted line breaks. Do you have any idea of how to fix these? Thanks.

Hi Jiuning, I tried both of the markup that you pasted below. The first one works if you use the following exactly as it appears below: *<collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">text to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> i.e. without a newline after the starting collapsmi tag. A problem free way to do this would be as follows: <ul>First list<li> <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">first text in the list to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> <li> <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">second text in the list to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> <li> <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">third text in the list to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> </ul> <ul>Second list<li> <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">first text in the list to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> <li> <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">second text in the list to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> <li> <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">third text in the list to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> </ul> You can also have an ordered list if you use <ol>,</ol> instead of <ul>,</ul> The second one also works fine if you paste it exactly as it appears below: This is a test. The result is <collapsmi ExpandByDefault="false">text to be collapsed ... </collapsmi> Test at the ending ... Please make sure you do not input a newline after the collapsmi begin tag.
