Math formulas?
Jan 1 2008, 4:02 PM EST
I'm used to using Wikipedia and their math Latex formula system, but here at Wetpaint, even for little things like superscript and subscript, there seems to be no way to add formulas, such as integrals? Knowing that many members of Wetpaint are in eduction, this seems like it would be a major issue for many? Any comments or suggestions?

Yes, I recently started a Human Thermodynamics Wiki, and thermodynamics articles tend to employ many formulas, so on the following page for instance:http://humanthermodynamics.wetpaint.com/page/Georgi+Pavlovich+Gladyshev I had to make a formula in Word and then print it and and then paste it in as an image. Is there any other way to get formulas into Wetpaint? Thanks Libb Thims Do you find this valuable? |

I am not sure, ask an Admin. I am sure they can help you. Or you could suggest a new feature for that, like a widget for it.Regards, Elliot V. http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/account/StagePage Do you find this valuable? |

We don't currently have a LATEX rendering engine available, however there are many latex rendering applications available online, some for free, that can create images you can upload to your wetpaint wiki.

Thanks for the idea, possibly I'll give that a try. I found this Wetpaint site that has formulas:http://mechanicalengineeringmeg.wetpaint.com/page/Thermodynamics copied from the "laws of thermodynamics" page at Wikipedia, but I can't figure out how they got them into their Wetpaint site? Do you have any idea when Wetpaint will do an upgrade to allow for easy math inserts, symbols (such as reaction arrows), Greek letters, superscripts, subscripts, hats on letters, etc.? Talk later: Libb 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Those are images and that page is, unfortunately, a rather ham-fisted copy of the Wikipedia page.I can't give any estimate as to when a LATEX implementation might take place, but we are starting to get a few requests for it. Almost any character can be input into a Wetpaint wiki using the extended ASCII set and unicode, including greek characters. Try this link for a list of the extended ASCII character set and instructions on how to enter them: http://academic.evergreen.edu/projects/biophysics/technotes/program/ascii_ext-pc.htm 2 out of 2 found this valuable.
