[00:14:54] <legoktm[m]>	 Guest7062: texvc is long deprecated and was removed, what versions of Math and MediaWiki are you using?
[00:47:01] <Guest7062>	 Very old version of MediaWiki. What's the alternative these days?
[00:48:55] <p858snake>	 is there a reason you havn't upgraded to a modern version of mediawiki?
[00:49:44] <Guest7062>	 When I inherited the site it was already many versions behind. It was too much work.
[00:49:55] <Guest7062>	 But I have updated the code base to be compatible with PHP 7.4
[00:50:24] <Guest7062>	 The site is also heavily customized. 
[00:51:15] <Guest7062>	 I just need the syntax of the math formulas to work. Currently they seem to be trying to produce PNGs but I'd be more than happy if it outputs SVG instead.
[00:51:58] <Guest7062>	 What is MediaWiki's current approach to supporting syntax like this: <math>P = \frac{U}{t}\</math> 
[00:52:39] <Guest7062>	 Or is the recommendation to change the syntax altogether?
[00:59:43] <legoktm[m]>	 Guest7062: using mathoid is the recommended alternative
[00:59:56] <Guest7062>	 Mathoid as a service?
[01:00:47] <legoktm[m]>	 Most of the syntax is the same, but texvc was unmaintained, so if something didn't work there's even less people who could help you with it
[01:01:17] <legoktm[m]>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math#Math_output_modes
[01:03:00] <Guest7062>	 Thanks. Checking it out.
[01:07:11] <p858snake>	 i would also try working on getting your site up to date with modern MW, which will make it easier in the future, and you get all the nicities, bug fixes and security fixes in the modern versions
[01:18:54] <Guest7062>	 p858snake: Yes, that makes sense. Thanks
[02:05:53] <Guest7062>	 Is Mathoid working? It says the build has an error: https://github.com/wikimedia/mathoid
[02:13:32] <Guest7062>	 legoktm[m] Mathoid has build errors and npm is also complaining about vulnerabilities. It does not seem like an option for a production system then, unless there is a Wikimedia-hosted version
[02:16:22] <legoktm[m]>	 I haven't set it up in quite a while, but what build errors are you getting? Filing a bug would be helpful
[02:16:50] <legoktm[m]>	 You might also find https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleMathJax easier to use
[02:19:11] <Guest7062>	 First I got a bad platform error: https://pastebin.com/qg8GMSzx
[02:20:26] <Guest7062>	 After some googling I tried npm install -f and then I got a bunch of different errors terminating in found 8 vulnerabilities (5 low, 2 moderate, 1 high)
[14:19:40] <Guest45>	 I wanted to contact DManrock29 regarding his org charts made for the 23rd Infantry Division for 1967.  There are three typos to correct.  The 1/21st Inf. Battalion should be the 4/21st Inf. Bn. under the 11th Bde; the 
[14:23:28] <Guest45>	 Continuing message to DMANROCK29 regarding his org charts for the 23rd Infantry Division for 1967.  H/17 Cavalry was the 198th Brigade armor not H/1, the 16th Combat Aviation Group was not a regiment for the aviation.  Also missing is the Division Artillery chart and the 1/1st Cavalry squadron chart.  These were major components of the Division.
[14:23:29] <Guest45>	 The 1/1st Cavalry squadron was equivalent to a brigade when operating in the flatlands.
[19:42:20] <JeffreyWang>	 regarding "Mathoid as a Service": MyWikis used to offer Hosted Parsoid (basically Parsoid as a Service), but it's since been retired due to the advent of PHP-based Parsoid in MW 1.35. There are currently no Mathoid as a Service providers as far as I am aware of. The reason being, SimpleMathJax works perfectly fine and doesn't require additional server-side compute requirements.
