             Bug #: 35480
           Summary: Create an option for PNG+MathJax
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Math (texvc)
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: listenle...@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


A fourth rendering option "PNG+MathJax" could be interesting: Output a rendered
PNG but replace it by pure HTML with MathJax. This would have several
advantages:

* Users with incompatible browsers will see the rendered formula. (At least
when MathJax is configured properly.)
* Users with disabled JavaScript will see the rendered formula.
* The rendered formula is visible as soon as the image is downloaded which is
usually faster then MathJax' rendering for pages with many formulas.

Because of the first two points this option could even be used as default.

The only disadvantage I can see is the fact that both the images and the
JavaScript have to be downloaded, but since the JavaScript can be cached this
shouldn't be a big problem.

If you decide to close this bug as WONTFIX, then remove the code to extract the
TeX from an image in MathJax/extensions/wiki2jax.js.
