Hello,

I still cannot find solution on displaying TeX formulas in MediaWiki under Win XP. Steps of my experimentation are below. Everything ends up either by error "Failed to parse (unknown error)", or by [Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 3 ]...

Can somebody help me?

thanx Martin

1. Downloaded TeXlive2005, OCalm, Gost Script, ImageMagik, 2. I used make from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ in wiki_dir\math

RESULT - ERROR: ocamlopt -c util.ml 'as' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Assembler error, input left in file ... *** [util.cmx] Error 2 3. I used mingw32-make texvc.bc as recommended on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows 4. Renamed texvc.bc to texvc.exe 5. Edited wiki_dir/localsettings.php: $wgUseTeX = true;

RESULT - ERROR: Instead of formula written: "Failed to parse (missing executable texvc, look at math/README for documentation): x^2". 6. According to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_Mediawiki_on_Windows#Building_texvc_o... did the following: 1. in /includes/Math.php I replaced

wfDebug( "TeX: $cmd\n" );

with the following:

$cmd=str_replace("'",""",$cmd); wfDebug( "TeX: $cmd\n" ); 2. in LocalSettings.php I added:

$wgTexvc = "texvc.exe";

RESULT - ERROR: Instead of formula written: "Failed to parse (unknown error): x^2".

1. I tried several changes to math/render.ml: 1. I tried to write full path for convert, latex, dvips as recommended in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows#Finally_.28...

RESULT - ERROR: Failed to parse (unknown error): x^2 2. I tried completely new math.php in wiki_dir/includes - see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows/math.php

RESULT - ERROR: [Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 3 ] 2. I tried also http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_Mediawiki_on_Windows#Alternative_Solu...

It means to add into LocalSettings.php

$wgUseImageMagick = true;

$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick- 6.3.1-Q16\convert.exe";

$wgImageMagickIdentifyCommand = "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick- 6.3.1-Q16\identify.exe";

$wgLaTexCommand = 'C:\TeXLive2005\bin\win32\latex.exe';

$wgDvipsCommand = 'C:\TeXLive2005\bin\win32\dvips.exe';

RESULT - ERROR: [Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 3 ]
