Okay, I'm not sure how to get the formatting quite right... but here is a sample: '''{{Smallcaps| Average}}''' (numbers) # total = 0 # '''for''' number ∈ numbers '''do''' #: total = total + number # '''end for''' # return numbers / {{Smallcaps | Length}}(numbers) this isn't *too* bad to write..

Okay, I've played around a bit with my wiki and unicode. It is indeed the best option. Resized text looks nice, and for my purposes this works quite well. Inserting the unicode text is a bit of a pain, since right now I am copying and pasting the text... but I recently found that there are entit

My research has come up with a much better package than algorithmic, the styles for "Introduction to Algorithms" is available at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/clrscode/. I've perused wikipedia a bit, and I really don't like how algorithms look there. The appeal of the use of LaTeX, is mostly f

Hello all, I would really really love to have the ability to use the algorithmic package inside MediaWiki software. I am writing up the details of a bunch of algorithms, and so far I have found it extremely painful to do. If there is a better way to make my algorithms look beautiful, I'd love to
