Getting MathJax Working

I got MathJax: git clone git://github.com/mathjax/MathJax.git MathJax

I installed the JavaScript extension[2] for MediaWiki.

I added a file mathjax.js (name doesn't matter) to extensions/JavaScript. It's content:

var e = document.createElement('script');
e.type = "text/javascript";
e.src = "http://stacky.net/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=wikiconfig";
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(e);

(I basically copied the MathJax configuration file used at MO ... got confused because you have to remember to modify the last line)

(Not) Getting Blahtex Working

It'd be much nicer to get MediaWiki to serve MathML and use MathJax to convert only if it has to, but I haven't been able to get Blahtex[3] to compile. I've been trying to follow the instructions here [4]. I'm able to checkout blahtex and to get texvc working, but if I try make or make linux, I get

g++ -O3   -c -o source/main.o source/main.cpp
source/main.cpp: In function ‘void ShowUsage()’:
source/main.cpp:108: error: ‘exit’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [source/main.o] Error 1

Moving html to wiki

A useful substitution:

<a href="([^"]*)"[^>]*>([^<]*)</a>
