What's new in MediaWiki to LaTeX 7.38
Jan 19, 2020
- the tachyon subproject has been started. Its goal is to demostrate the maximum possible speed of a mediawiki to latex conversion see folder tachyon. djvu files are now processed correctly. list of contributors is faster by removing lazy evaluation. Source codes which contain high unicode codepoint character are not not highlighted anymore and thus don't cause LaTeX compiler aborts anymore. Some seldom occuring bug in the processing of complex tables have been fixed. highlighting environment now begin with a newline to make sure they compile in LaTeX. A an addition mode has been added to allow for loading all pages from a toc page but only those which are children of the toc page with respect to the url paths. If a cell in a table itself contains multiple tables, those inner tables are limited in width to half of the width of the outer cell. A bug that prohibited --bookmode together with --epub was fixed. A bug on nested lists / enumerations / itemizations was fixed. If vector graphcis is requested, the svg images are not rasterized in epub but instead kept as svg in epub output. Quationsmakes and numeric html entities are now correcty coverted from the parse tree to plain text causing them to appear correctly when typesetting source codes. url fed in to mediawiki2latex from the command line of the web interface may does not longer need to be escaped in url escaping. stl 3d graphics files are kicked out entirely. It is possible to use a source code in the caption of an image.

- let a be the fact that mediawiki2latex is asked to gernerate a PDF file or a zip file with the corresponding latex source (which is equivalent to the fact that neigther of the options -b, -d, --epub, --odt are present).
- let b be the fact that the input is a book or collection (which is equivalent to the fact that -k or --bookmode command line option is present).
- if both a and b a are true then the memory consumption is reduced by usually at least an order of magnitue. This is why the server now supports up to four requests in parallel and up to four hours per request.
