For anybody in sciences/engineering, equations support is essential. Tex is know by everybody in the field so, ideally, one would type $$E=mc^2$$ or and get the celebrated equation. It might be easy to accomplish this by using jsMath. jsMath (http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/welcome.html). All it takes is for a few lines calling jsMath.js to be inserted everytime a page is saved. This was setup in a few wiki packages but none have the other advantadges of instiki/plimki. Not only you'd get the equations with proper fonts, scaling. etc... but the latex save from instiki would generate a latex file ready to be distributed. It's an ideal way of writing papers in a collaboration ! Talking around with colleagues I realized a large number of people who would make plimki their standar way of keeping personal technical notes, write papers, classes, etc.

Date: 2006-01-08 21:57 Sender: Assaph Mehr Hi! Looks cool. I'll probably schedule it with the rest of the JS related feature (S5 Presentations, FCKEdit) to around Pimki 3.0. I am amenable to patches if you need it before :-) Cheers, Assaph
