WARNING: this is a quick jot down of the minor beauty glitches in the import process of certain information to the Mediawiki environment. Not all problems are listed, and this is by no means a concise reference in the matter.


Import process

The information is currently imported to the wiki from LaTeX via HTML phase, as the tools available to convert LaTeX to Mediawiki format are unfinished at best. This process causes few minor glitches in the Wiki markup, and the articles imported need to be edited in any case to match even the rudimentary style conforms of the wiki.

  • bold text
  • italic text
  • headers
  • excess line breaks (also with <br />)
  • graybox division around verbatim text areas
  • excess indexes in the beginning of the article
  • random verbatim code blocks after a header or a bulleted list
