- Reshma 19:40, 29 January 2007 (EST): The main obnoxious thing about composing latex docs on the wiki is that it doesn't wrap "plain text". It wraps in the edit window but the html page has one line per paragraph unless you manually include returns.
- Austin Che 19:43, 29 January 2007 (EST): actually I recently changed this behavior at the request of someone. The original behavior would treat most of the text as normal html and thus wrap in the browser. However, due to mediawiki parsing, it would insert pre tags such that any lines that began with a space would be boxed which looked weird. So I put one pre around the entire document instead. If there's an alternative, I'd be happy to implement it.
- Austin Che 21:21, 29 January 2007 (EST): Ok, I added an auto word wrap to it. Check it out.
- Reshma 21:20, 30 January 2007 (EST): EPS files are not permitted. This is unfortunate since I seem to have better luck with EPS files when writing "normal" latex docs.
- Reshma 21:20, 30 January 2007 (EST): Errors in the latex document (i.e. syntax errors) cause Firefox to crash on Mac OS X 10.3. However, this does not happen in Safari in Mac OS X 10.4.
