I set up my wiki server (original latest version from mediawiki.org 1.19) and OS is Win 7

'Cause need some TeX represents, I tried several methods but most of them didn't work.

Finally I got mathjax.

It show proper result in preview of wikieditor! It was amazing!

In redbox, TeX form rendered successfully! It is exactly what i want!

After save this wiki, HOWEVER, those TeX not rendered......

Moreover, strange notation \( and \) cover my TeX fomulas.

For example, I wanna input right arrow (→ like this). So I type this line in my wiki page.

<math>\RightArrow</math>

But, my wiki shows proper TeX in preview only. After save, \(\RightArrow\) placed where → should be!

This is document after save.

I installed mathjax to my wiki through download two files (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MathJax -> http://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk.nuyens/Extension_MathJax/, MathJax.php and mwMathJaxConfig.js) and put them in extensions/MathJax.

Did I do incorrect installation? or I have to set more options?

Bring me some help, please.


Try disabling caching by adding $wgParserCacheType = CACHE_NONE; to your LocalSettings.php (and make certain it is not set to a different value afterwards in the same file). A similar question arises on the Discussion page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:MathJax and this setting is also mentioned on the installation page.

I think Dirk's comment is the right answer. See also this issue tracker for a similar discussion with an earlier version of MediaWiki.

The MathJax extension is no longer supported by MediaWiki. MathJax is now used "experimentally" in combination with the Math extension.
