+Okay, the last version of the tex plugin for ikiwiki can be downloaded [here](https://www.der-winnie.de/~winnie/gsoc07/tex.pm).
+
+> I've looked this over, fixed the indenting, fixed some variable names
+> ("$foo" is a bad variable name), removed a gratuotuous use of `tie`,
+> fixed a bug (the first time it was run, it tried to write the png file
+> before the teximages/ directory existed) and checked the result in.
+>
+> Can you please flesh out [[plugins/teximg]] with
+> whatever documentation people who know tex will expect to see?
+
+Okay, I'll fill this up today I think with information about the plugin
+
+Done. Is that docu fine with you?
+
+>> Perhaps add some documentation about the kind of tex code that can be

+
+> Also, please review my changes. In particular, I changed the @badthings
+> array to use qr//, which is much clearer, but it needs to be tested that
+> I didn't break the checking code when I did it. It would be nice to write
+> a test case that tries to feed it bad code and makes sure it rejects it.
+
+I'll test this now on my server. I'll report here later.
+Okay, checked. it works fine. My blacklist tests were successfull.
+
+>
+> Does it really make sense to have an alt tag for the image

+> without images?
+
+Mh.. For people who know latex very well this would be enough to imagine how the image would look like.
+This are of course the minority of people (but I guess also the minority of people are using non-gui browsers).
+
+
+
+> I'm thinking about renameing the preprocessor directive to teximg.
+> \[[!teximg code="" alt="foo"]] makes sense.. Would it make sense to rename

+
+I'll think over this until I'm at work ;) Only for rendering images... not for generating .tex files .../wiki/
+the name is all the same i think. If you like teximg better than switch :)
+
+
+> Note: I removed the style= attribute, since as I've told you, the

+
+Ah yes.. sorry forgot to update the plugin in my public_html folder %-). This was my last change in this plugin :) Sorry.

+
+I'm using a [plugin](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/tex.pm) created by [Josef Urban](http://www.cs.ru.nl/~urban) that gets LaTeX into ikiwiki by using [LaTeXML](http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML). This could well be "the right way" to go (long term) but the plugin still does not render math expressions right, because ikiwiki is filtering out requisite header information. Examples (I recommend you use Firefox to view these!) are available [here](http://li101-104.members.linode.com/aa/math/) and [here](http://li101-104.members.linode.com/aa/simple/). Compare that last example to the [file generated by LaTeXML directly](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/math.xml). I posted the sources [here](http://metameso.org/aa/sources/) for easy perusal. How to get ikiwiki to use the original DOCTYPE and html fields? I could use some help getting this polished off. --[[jcorneli]]
+
+> update: it seems important to force the browser to think of the content as xml, e.g. [http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.xml](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.xml) has the same source code as [http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.html](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.html) and the former shows math working, but the latter doesn't. --[[jcorneli]]
+
+>> Looking at the source code, it seems Ikiwiki is doing more than filtering header information - it is filtering out all HTML formatting around MathML constituent objects. In the first example, we see that formatting for tables and such is preserved. --[[jcorneli]]
