[Axiom-developer] RE: latexwiki update

[Bill Page]

Bob,

Here is a small patch that I needed in order to run your new
LatexWiki 0.38 (from darcs Feb 23, 2005) on the MathAction
test website

  http://test.axiom-developer.org/mathaction

Perhaps this change is required in part because I am using

  latex --version
  pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
  kpathsea version 3.5.4

------

The new dvipng however seems to be working great! It even
solves some formatting problems for long LaTeX lines.

I do however seem to have a problem with alignment of LaTeX
and non-LaTeX characters. Perhaps this ia related to running
the wiki from within Plone (but with Simon's standard skin
patch). See the above link. Any ideas?

Later tonight I plan to integrate the Axiom and Reduce
extensions into the test site.

Great work! Thanks.

Bill Page.
