It would be very useful to be able to use \displaystyle, \textstyle, \scriptstyle, and \scriptscriptstyle in <math> markup (mostly \textstyle). For an example, please see my sandbox at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bkell/Sandbox Currently things like <math>n\choose k</math> render in display style, which is fine for displayed math (i.e., math set aside in its own little box on a line by itself), but is far too large to be used comfortably in running text. All four of \displaystyle, \textstyle, \scriptstyle, and \scriptscriptstyle are defined in both plain TeX and LaTeX.
Created attachment 1215 [details] simple patch This patch adds (PNG-only) support for these TeX commands.
Applied to CVS HEAD.
An improvement has been made, in that \textstyle no longer causes MediaWiki to barf, but \textstyle has absolutely no effect. <math>\textstyle n\choose k</math> produces exactly the same thing as <math>n\choose k</math>.
I've moved my examples to my main user page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bkell#Wikipedia_complaints
