Hi dev folks,
I developed a math plugin ("MathTex") to render LaTeX math expressions in
XWiki.
Currently the plugin supports two formula renderer:
- The default one (contained in xwiki-plugin-mathtex-core.jar) is
LGPL and thus can be embedded in the XWiki packages
- The other one is GPL (powered by JMathTex) and gives better
results. It can used by adding the xwiki-plugin-mathtex-ext.jar to the
classpath and adding a parameter to the xwiki.cfg to override the
default renderer
(xwiki.plugins.mathtex.builder=org.thenesis.xwiki.plugin.mathtex.JMathTexFormulaImageBuilder)
In order to work this plugin requires modifications of some parts of
the XWiki default classes/files:
- xwiki.cfg
- macros.txt/macros.vm
- struts-config.xml
- XWikiRightServiceImpl.java (privileges for actions)
So an admin couldn't just grab it from the plugin zone and make it
work out-of-the-box.
Hence I would like to propose this plugin for integration in XWiki
with two alternatives:
1) Full integration
2) Partial integration (macros, struts-config.xml,
XWikiRightServiceImpl.java changes) + users still have to load the
plugin jar(s) from the plugin zone.
What Guillaume forgot to ask, what do we do with the plugin? Should it
be part of the core? Should it be put on code.xwiki.org? Should we setup
the xlets repository?
