Spotted a problem with transcluding the pages... if you browse the Math doc, everything looks fine.. the TOC works, the breadcrumbs work etc. If you edit and save you end up at the root/source of the transcluded page. That means you're dropped out of the Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Math Guide/ subpage structure, and the doc TOC is missing. Not sure yet what the right solution is for this...

Why do you consider this a problem? People will be reading the pages through the Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Math Guide/ subpage structure (or the Writer Guide, or the Getting Started Guide), where they will see the TOC relevant to wherever they are. It's only after editing that you don't see the TOC. And very few people ever do any editing of the user guides on the wiki. BTW, there are other parts of the user guides that are done that way, too. --Jean - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@documentation.openoffice.org

It's only a problem when you're editing. It caught me up... I spent
some time trying to figure out what was going on :-) Every time I'd
edit I'd loose the TOC and I'd end up in a completely different place
than I started at... had me baffled until I clued in that I was editing
a transcluded page.
Thanks for the warning. Editing an entire page shows what's going on,
but editing a section can get confusing, very quickly. OTOH, you only
have to do it once :-) . . .
BTW, your math changes in Formula_layout all use brace-stuff-brace,
which gives non-italicized rendering (I'm assuming that this notation is
actually short for \mbox{stuff}, but what I don't know about math
covers a very large wiki page on MW). For the examples in question, I
suggest that a more mathy rendering would be better.
And, thanks for the negative space fixes after \simeq. It looks
better. I'll keep my eyes open for that.

OK, take a look: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Formula_layout
I figured we'd better coordinate, because we were editing that page at
the same time. When I gave up on \begin{array} (it was giving me
horrible Cannot Parse error messages, in red), and cancelled my edit,
the .png refs were gone! :-O

Hehe, either we have too many editors or not enough :-)
I'm not in there editing anymore. I know all about the horrible red
error messages... I got a lot of those in the process of building up
what formulas I did add/edit. I'm not so sure the exact syntax for the
array thing. I base what I know about Wiki math on these pages:

and
