MathRen (TeX math rendering)

Kylo

JoshyPHP i just saw your Preg part.

Unfortunately it should support arbitrary nesting because the expression may have other $s inside it. There is no simple regex solution to get Preg working with math expressions using custom delimiters. That's why everyone prefers non-regex matchers like KaTeX's auto-render plugin does.

Kylo

kaifang actually I have that feature but decided to keep it unreleased 'cause I know it'll give us all nothing but headaches (i.e. Kylo) and lots of comments here just asking for support (and for free $). I can assure you it's more complex than you think, especially when it comes to single page application.

All FlaJax is doing rendering the whole page using Mathjax script and that's it, there's literally nothing that I could implement from it. And look all the features we got here just because we're not using the ordinary dollar signs as delimiters 🤷.

What makes you think using dollar signs are more efficient by the way?

After I installed the plugin, the homepage produced the error

beta:12
PHP:74

tcitr Hi,

I'm not sure if this extension causing your issue. Does the problem persist if you remove the extension?

tcitr

Kylo After I uninstall the plugin, everything becomes normal.

@Kylo Hi,Will you update the plugin for beta 13? Apparently incompatible.

Kylo

Geraldlzc

`0.2.7`

Update version constraints for Flarum 0.1.0-beta.13.

Kylo

I will drop special delimiters option in 0.3.0 and switch to BBCodes-only (so you'll not be able to use $$..$$ anymore). This will unlock the preview feature, increase its performance and decrease the complexity. So if you just installed this extension you better get used to using BBCodes.

Kylo Ooof, that's kind of bad

But alright, it's manageable since we have editor buttons.

I am not using your extension nor is it important for my community.

However, any extension that requires the BBCode extension would be self defeating for me.

Kylo yeah, special delimiters limits further improvement of the extension and brings so much complexity.

How about limiting the functionality for markdown users rather than abandoning them altogether?

Kylo

Yalfoosh yeah, special delimiters limits further improvement of the extension and brings so much complexity. I feel like they don't fit well into community platforms, all others out there using BBCodes-only and it is simple enough. Also, they're more reliable and faster than special delimiters. I had to perform so many checks on delimiters to see if they're special ones or BBCodes (this class is there only for special delimiters as well as most of the functions in this class). We have Overleaf for our articles so let's keep it simple here.

I will leave 0.2.x as it is, feel free to inform me about any issues that you're experiencing on 0.2.x and I'll see what I can do.

Yalfoosh

Kylo Well, it's likely that I'll update it, I feel like LaTeX on Flarum would have to be hella revamped to be as usable as ex. in Jupyter, probably in the category of expanding Markdown. Until then BBCodes will do.

Kylo

Pollux It won't require any BBCode extension to get working because TextFormatter supports that markup natively.

Pollux How about limiting the functionality for markdown users rather than abandoning them altogether?

The current major release seem to be working well so far and I will continue to support it as much as I can, but I encourage others to use BBCodes nevertheless.

Kylo

`0.3.0`

Action

Drop special delimiters support (it is BBCodes-only now).
- Thus, it should work faster from 0.2.x
- I'll continue looking for better solutions to use them.
Remove the ability to customize wrappers from the MathRen settings page.
- Because we can add custom CSS from the Appearance page already.
Remove the ability to change block and inline wrapper classes.
Add live previews.
Add Copy-tex plugin.
- Now you can copy any expression's source to the clipboard. You can even quote it by selection.
- It's not working flawless though, see their repository for known issues and let's see if we can find unknown ones.
Add some validation for the MathRen settings page.
Fix macros weren't working all the time.
- Now you have to write them using JavaScript's syntax (e.g. \name => \\name)

Also the backend has became more clear now, don't hesitate to join me.

Geraldlzc

@kyelup When I click the editor button, the pointer jumps to the beginning.

Kylo

Geraldlzc yeah that's true. I'll try to fix it when I'm available

+ PRs are welcomed as always

Geraldlzc

Kylo
If the formula is too long, it will destroy the layout.

How can we resist destruction?

Kylo

Geraldlzc Can you paste a sample formula here so I can look into it? Maybe it'll be more reasonable if you just split it into two different lines.
