clarify that the plugin available is only for LaTeX's math markup, not tables and other full LaTeX features
|
| May 9, 2016 at 2:36 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @Axoren Their [status-completed] meta post asking for it is here: LaTeX notation for Math. I haven't found any performance stats mentioned in their meta; I suspect that our concerns below are way, way overblown for a little site like ours (or theirs). | |
| May 8, 2016 at 22:51 | comment | added | Axoren | @SevenSidedDie I can't imagine what they use it for. Are there statistics on the performance hit they're taking by having the plugin loaded? Current stats of WorldBuilding.SE (questions 5.9k, answers 27k, answered 100%, users 16k). Current stats of RPG.SE (questions 16k, answers 42k, answered 100%, users 18k). We have nearly thrice the questions, roughly the same user population (a difference of 2,000 more in RPG.SE). It could be worth considering them a case study since RPG.SE has as many users, but more questions. Any performance hit we take, they're taking just as much as we speak. | |

| Nov 12, 2015 at 17:41 | comment | added | Axoren | @DaFluid another issue with that is the lack of proper formatting parallels. While superscript and subscript exist, there's no overline, overtext, or undertext (as there would need to be for summations and complements). Though, that would potentially reduce the burden of meeting smaller formatting goals. | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 8:37 | comment | added | DaFluid | @Axoren something similar to this, but which would use the italics and html sub and sup tags and the & escaped special characters (all of which are already supported and in use), instead of MathJax. | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 8:20 | comment | added | DaFluid | @Axoren I meant it as tools and shortcuts to help with writing the html markup required to make the text look math-like in a way that's already used (like in the answer you linked as an example). Viewing the answer would require no scripts at all, and one could still achieve the same look writing manually, as they did so far. But having a quick shortcut for "insert tab" or "superscript" would be convenient for those that take the effort to install the script, and also those who are not familiar with html but would like to achieve the same look. | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 8:08 | comment | added | Axoren | @DaFluid Greasemonkey is a more invasive solution. Users will be expected to download and use Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension. Not only that, but users who do not have that browser environment will be presented with raw markup, which is very much unacceptable. | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 8:04 | comment | added | DaFluid | Perhaps a Greasemonkey script that helps with the existing html approach during editing would be a less invasive solution. I might play around with it over the weekend. | |

| Nov 10, 2015 at 19:09 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | Re third-last paragraph: knowledgeable editors already edit for formatting as a matter of course, so no worries there. Users would not be expected to use LaTeX, but where easily added, others could do simple conversions to LaTeX for clarity and ease of reading after the fact. | |
