Hello
I am not sure whether is the right place to discuss it, but are there
any plans to improve the implementation of texvc for the display of
mathematical formula, the most urgent things seems to me
- Implement at least the equation environment in order to
enumerate the equations.
- Improve the inline expressions, whose height sometimes is quite
ugly

Hi,
I have created a local MediaWiki installation (from SVN), and retrieved the
Wikipedia extensions (from CVS) as I could gleam from the Special:Version
page on Wikipedia, and imported an XML dump using following command:
bzip2 -d enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2
cat enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml | php5 maintenance/importDump.php
After importing, most of the pages render correctly, however some templates
which use ParserFunctions, are rendering parts of the templates as escaped
HTML.
The page George_H._W._Bush (in my copy of the data), is using a
Template:Infobox_President, with code as follows:
Code at: http://pastebin.com/722852
The rendering has turned <tr> and <td> to <tr> and <td> in
certain cases:
Code at http://pastebin.com/722855 (please note the < and >
which is highlighted in pink)
Does anybody know what could possibly be causing this problem?
Thanks
Richard Wooding

I have a related, orthogonal, request, regarding the process of
assembling a CD or other snapshot. My interest is less to do with
quality, and more to do with the process. My end result is either a CD,
or a plucker document for PalmOS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Version_0.5
I see the job as too big to be done via hand selection. I am also more
interested in coverage than quality - I figure the quality will just get
better. So, I want automated methods, both for selecting good coverage,
and (less important at the moment) version selection. I also would
like to target a size - 128Meg, 512Meg, 600Meg, 1Gig, 4Gig. I am also
interested in post-processing - stripping redlinks, including ''main
article'' references on core articles, like ''History of South Africa''
etc. I want to be able to tweak parameters, then press a button and get
a new CD (from my downloaded XML dump of en and a picture collection,
and possibly via a live mediawiki snapshot of that content).
This is what I have tried, mostly with available tools, and a bit of perl.
* Download recent XML dump.
* Download list of articles from category (currently using the WPCD template)
* Trim the full dump to the above article list (natively performed by mwdumper --exactlist)
* Import this to mysql
* import (full) category dump to mysql (sql dump downloaded from wikipedia)
* Use mediawiki/maintenance/dumpHTML.php to convert this to HTML
* perl script removes categories with less than four included items from HTML dump
* redlink removal by un-anchoring HTML with class=new (red links) -
but not Categories (that always seem to appear red)
Problems I have come across:-
* templates (particularly <nowiki>{{main|History of Country}}</nowiki>
and the like) do not make it through dumpHTML.php. Maybe I have to
hack the php.
* Remove all the dross at the end, like inter-wiki links.
Could this be done by tweaking the CSS from dumpHTML ?
Cheers, Andy!

Flamenco (http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/index.html) is open source now
under BSD, it's a search interface framework (categories). Just
thought it might be interesting for people to know :)
