McC Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I am given to understand from here that TCH doesn't support texvc. Does anyone know of another way I might go about implementing math rendering that doesn't require compiling something like texvc? Thanks! Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Please open a ticket with the help desk. This is a server related question and the moderators are volunteers and cannot answer it for you. Thanks Quote
nortk Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 If you do open a ticket, and you do find out that texvc can be installed, I know there are at least a few other users (including me) who would like to know. I've been down this path before with no luck. Understandably, the people who run things here cannot just add things like this anytime a shared-server user asks. However, maybe enough requests from enough interested people might get them to consider it. Curious...are you looking for texvc or an alternative so that you can run MediaWiki? Quote
Deverill Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 What is the application you need it in? Is this something that you just want to put on a web page and could use a gif file for or is it something that visitors need to be able to enter as a rendered formula? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I found this site that will allow you to hotlink to images created there. I grant you a license to do the following: * Use these expressions as a user (tutor or student) on algebra.com. * Generate images manually and download and use them on your personal or commercial website, or for your math works (homework etc), as long as you host them on your server. * Refer to these images by hotlinking *on your personal math pages. Any heavy or commercial use of hotlinked images is subject to licensing. Licensing is not expensive and there are no onerous terms. The objective is to compensate me for bandwidth. I like my system and want people to use it. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I also found this site that shows how to do math formulas with HTML and CSS. Quote
McC Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 Curious...are you looking for texvc or an alternative so that you can run MediaWiki? Yeah, the texvc question was prompted by MediaWiki. Ideally, I'd like a pleasant way to depict mathematical formulae. What is the application you need it in? Is this something that you just want to put on a web page and could use a gif file for or is it something that visitors need to be able to enter as a rendered formula? See above. I found this site that will allow you to hotlink to images created there. I also found this site that shows how to do math formulas with HTML and CSS. Thanks, Bruce! These are very helpful. Quote
