[Scummvm-devel] Change default skin for wiki + New MathJax extension

[Michael Madsen]

It appears that the MathJax extension breaks tables when dollar signs are used, e.g. for hexadecimal values – this is especially noticeable on http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCUMM/V5_opcodes. Could we change it to disallow inline math with $-signs, instead requiring \( and \)? I’ve attached a patch file which should do just that.

 

Alternatively, we could of course choose some other indicator for hexadecimal values, e.g. a 0x prefix.

Hi all,

 

On sunday evening I changed the default skin on the wiki. When you are not logged in it will now use the new ScummModern skin from billwashere. That way the wiki has the same look than the main website or the forum. I also kept the old skin for those who preferred it. This theme was available since several months, with several improvements done along the way. You may already have changed the preferences for your wiki account to use that skin. If not I would encourage you to do so. If you don't you will still be using the old skin (the default only applies to user that are not logged in).

 

I also replaced the old jsMath extension by MathJax to render LaTeX formulae (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MathJax and http://www.mathjax.org/). The main advantage is that it is using web fonts, which means no special font has to be installed on the client computer to get a nice scalable rendering (there is still a bitmap rendering fallback for browser that do not support web fonts). MathJax also supports TeX style labeling (using \label{} or \eqref{}) 

See http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Instructions_to_Wiki_Editors for more info.
