Forum:Math help

Is it feasible for Wikia to use the same LaTeX rendering as Wikipedia does? Wikia's is too small. Or, can I make the LaTeX font rendered more like that of WP? Is it possible to use CSS to modify them or something? Enlarging does not seem to make a difference.

 * $$50 \sum_{n=2}^x 50(n^2 - 5n + 8)$$
 * [[File:TempMath2.png]]
 * $$\sqrt[4]\frac{n^x}{x}$$ (can't seem to render this)

 * $$\int f(x) dx = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^n f(x_i)\Delta x$$

These images are directly from WP and thus have not been altered. It is much, much more readable. -- Polski 17:58, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is unfortunately not much you can do about that as an individual - CSS has no effect on the font, because the entire formula always renders as an image on the page. You could request Wikia staff to make changes to how the maths formulas are rendered, however. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  01:25, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * It appears that the current rendering is the same as Wikipedia's though only that this has antialiasing and / or is scaled down to about 1:2.5. I had figured then that there exists some Mediaiki page which changed the way mathematics is rendered. What are my chances though of Wikia making these changes? Finding how Wikipedia renders their mathematics would not be a simple task and implementing it wouldn't either.-- Polski 09:30, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I seem to be having problems submitting edits and emails via Special:Contact. Is anyone else experiencing this? It times out and presents a blank page. Polski 09:42, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
