Inline formulas sometimes interfere with WikiFormatting

[Robert Rossmair]

Source code:

Im Falle, daß wir keine astigmatische Linse haben (`Cylinder = 0`), ist \( D_1 \) = `BaseCurve`, \(D\) entspricht `Sphere` und \(D_2\) kann nach unten stehender Formel berechnet werden.

Result:

I just noticed that there are similar problems with table separators, i.e. ||, so it seems the issue is with WikiFormatting in general.

I believe I have this fixed in the default branch on bitbucket: ​https://bitbucket.org/kisielk/tracmathjaxplugin/

Can you download the development code from ​https://bitbucket.org/kisielk/tracmathjaxplugin/get/9b0942b0d876.zip and let me know if it fixes the bug for you?

[Robert Rossmair]

Not quite, the example I gave renders correctly now, but the following table row

||\(W_\alpha\)||Wirkung im Meridianschnitt mit Winkel \(\alpha\) (gegenüber Bezugs-Hauptschnitt) in \(dpt\)||

still doesn't:

[Kamil Kisiel]

Thanks for providing an example.

Can you try the revision from ​https://bitbucket.org/kisielk/tracmathjaxplugin/get/e84e96a982aa.zip and see if it solves the table problem for you? I didn't get a chance to fully test it before running off to work this morning, but I think it should do the trick.

The other errors are gone now, but unfortunately I see a new one. This worked before, but doesn't anymore:

\[
W_\alpha = D_{sph} + D_{cyl}·sin^2\alpha
\]

If that worked before, it must have been purely by accident since I never wrote in support for the \[ .. \] block syntax. The way I intended to use it is the $$ ... $$ or latex processor block syntax. However, if you want support for the square braces I can add that as well.

Oh. My mistake... I guess I tried it and it worked so far.

No, that won't be necessary.

Thank you for that great plugin, I really appreciate it. Greetings, Robert

It's not too hard to add, I'll probably put it in later tonight and release a new version with the fixes. It seems I totally forgot that \[ ... \] is the mid-length displaymath syntax in LaTeX :) Will close this ticket when done.

Thanks for the bug report and examples.

[Kamil Kisiel]

I've released version 0.2 of the plugin that addresses your problems.

I've included support for the \[ ... \] braces as well. However, due to limitations in the Trac wiki syntax API, the braces cannot span multiple lines. For multi-line formulas you still need to use the

{{{
#!latex
....
}}}

processor syntax.
