TeX/LaTeX is document markup language that includes w:typesetting support, which is not a part of the MediaWiki markup language.

Embedding

There are many approaches to including LaTeX in MediaWiki.

The typical use is to use TeX for Math.

Math extensions

• Extension:Math processes <math> tags, server side.
• Extension:MathJax processes <math> tags, client side
• Extension:SimpleMathJax
• Extension:WikiTex
• Extension:WikiTeX (archived), processes <wikitex>
• Extension:TeX Editor
• Extension:MathLaTeX
• Extension:PhpMathPublisher_alternative
• Extension:Mimetex alternative

Math render/tools

• Mathoid, which is a fork of svgtex, that uses MathJax
• Extension:Math includes texvc, an OCaml program that invokes latex> and dvipng. See README, and texvccheck
• Texvc PHP Alternative, avoids OCaml dependency
• Extension:Mimetex alternative, requires only mimetex, included in Debian and Fedora. (copy at https://github.com/borovinskiy/mediawiki-MimeTex)
• https://github.com/wikimedia/texvcjs

Converting

Extension:Wiki2LaTeX converts wikitext into Latex.

Importing

• Extension:BibTexImport
