Procedure.svg Enabling math markup
Organic Design procedure

Inside each mediawiki instance ./math directory there is a README file which documents the process involved to make an executable called texvc. The apt-get package... also creates the executable.

You should then test that it works from the command line for example;

 texvc /tmp /var/www/mediawiki-1.12.0/math "y=x+2" iso-8859-1

should create a file in /tmp.


The binaries for latex, dvips, gs, and convert must all be available in $PATH.
