Enabling math markup Organic Design procedure |
Enabling math markup requires the following binaries latex, dvips, gs, and ImageMagicks convert . These must all be available in $PATH. The binary texvc must also be available, either as a binary or source installation.

Installation of texvc
From source
- Note: OCaml 3.06 or later is required to compile texvc; this can be acquired from http://caml.inria.fr/ if your system doesn't have it available. The apt-get commands
apt-get install dvipng tetex-extra cjk-latex ocaml(documented in Debian Post Install) install OCaml. - Inside each mediawiki instance ./math directory there is a README file which documents the process involved to make an executable from source called texvc. Basically from in the math directory you type
makeand check that texvc has been compiled.
Binary
The apt-get install mediawiki-math creates the texvc executable in /usr/local/bin.
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 /var/www/mediawiki-1.12.0/math.
Make sure the directories 'tmp' and 'math' under 'images' exist and are writable.
LocalSettings.php customization
The following lines need to be added;
