Hopefully texvc will be replaced by Blahtex (http:// www.blahtex.org/). Please help bug David Harvey to continue working on it :-)
It's never been a problem of David not wanting to continue to work on it, but a problem of the developers still not finding time to look at enabling blahtex on WM sites, even after months of requests for review by a number of people. Developers tend to be over-constrained and focus on keeping the site running, which causes non-critical enhancements to fall by the wayside more often than not.

But blahtex uses mathml exclusively no?
No, it should do PNG export any day now (maybe already does -- David?).
A very good, and those png could be "edited" the same way as they can in texvc?

- Wikitex
To return to my original question, can blahtex easily deal with numeration/references and labels?
Just from a pragmatic point of view, sites like
http://tosio.math.toronto.edu/wiki/index.php/Wave_equations
are very interested to include such a functionality.
I don't hope to start a flame war, but may be the authors of wikitex and blahtex could outline the differences of features of their programs? Or does such a comparison already exit?
Thanks
