Installed an extension that uses [http://www.mathjax.org/ MathJax] (a JavaScript-Library) to render formulas enclosed in <tt>math</tt>-tags . As described on the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MathJax page of the extension] this also adds the possibility to add references to the formulas. Thanks to Oliver Borm for the suggestion. As this library uses the same tags as the old mechanism for rendering math no changes to existing pages are required. Should you experience problems with existing formulas that seem to be due to the change please contact me '''Update:''' Disabled the extension because of the problem described [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:MathJax#Disable_.24_Delimiter_for_math_mode here] (having environment variables like <tt>$HOME</tt> in the text breaks the rendering). Hints how to solve this problem are welcome. Once a fix to the problem is known the extension will be reenabled. --[[User:Bgschaid|Bgschaid]] 23:43, 12 July 2011 (CEST) <noinclude> [[newsdate::12 July,2011]] [[Category:NewsItem]] </noinclude>
