Extensions

This page gives a brief overview of most of the extensions available on this wiki.

[edit] Mathematical Equations

You can enclose mathematical equations within <math> and </math> tags. Inside most of LaTeX math syntax is fair game.

<math>\pi=\frac{3}{4} \sqrt{3}+24 \int_0^{1/4}{\sqrt{x-x^2}dx}</math> <math>\text{cost}= \text{base} \times 2^{\text{level}-1}</math>

results in:

\pi=\frac{3}{4} \sqrt{3}+24 \int_0^{1/4}{\sqrt{x-x^2}dx}

\text{cost}= \text{base} 
\times 2^{\text{level}-1}

math can be inlined, as in α2. Some care needs to be exercised: equations are rendered to images and their font size doesn't scale

The full story about math formatting is here.

[edit] Threading in discussion pages

It is possible to maintain a proper threading in discussion pages. Nothing needs to be made in the text, but two buttons are available:

  • new, for starting a new thread. In this case a subject will be required.
  • reply, for adding comments to an on-going discussion.

[edit] Programming Languages Highlighting

We use a GeSHi-powered extension for syntax highlighting of source code. This means that all languages supported by GeSHi are supported.

See full documentation.

Examples:

<source lang="asm">
.LCFI206:
	movb	$0, 30(%rsp)
	movb	$0, 31(%rsp)
	movl	$0, (%rsp)
	movl	$0, 16(%rsp)
</source>

Results in:

.LCFI206:
	movb	$0, 30(%rsp)
	movb	$0, 31(%rsp)
	movl	$0, (%rsp)
	movl	$0, 16(%rsp)
