I wrote this essay using MediaWiki (formerly at the address http://stargrads.net/wiki) as a proof-of-concept to see if I can write an essay or a paper online. Since I’m removing MediaWiki from this web site, I have copied its contents below… » [Expand post] [Permalink]

The content of this post used to live at http://stargrads.net/wiki/Help:Setup, and described how I had set up the software for this web site.

When I first made this web site, I didn’t know what it was going to be about. I threw together a lot of tools that I wanted to experiment with. Most of these became unused after some time, and are just taking up space and bandwidth.

There’s really no special trick to using jsMath with WordPress, bbPress, or Wikindx — just follow the installation instructions.
Essentially, you just need to add the following code in the header of your web site (where “path.to” should be replaced with the URL to your installation of jsMath):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://path.to/jsMath/easy/load.js"></script>
For this web site, the above line was added to the headers of each of the template files of the component software packages.
One minor trick to getting jsMath to work with Wikindx is that all special characters have to be escaped properly\(\)… » [Expand post] [Permalink]
