Description Colin Burnett 2005-04-29 02:19:16 UTC Currently, if I enter <math>x \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)</math> then it is forced to render as PNG because \sim won't convert to a tilde for HTML rendering. Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2006-05-20 20:54:28 UTC According to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html There is a sim entity: <!ENTITY sim CDATA "&#8764;" -- tilde operator = varies with = similar to, U+223C ISOtech --> but in firefox it looks really different. I used &tilde; instead and commited that in trunk as r14314 Comment 2 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2006-05-20 20:59:51 UTC live site updated.
