amount of availible (LA)TEX commands in <math>-formulas

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty annoyed about the limited possibilities of typesetting
mathematical formulas within the <math>-tag. It is not possible to
create any more complicated formulas which, I think, is essential for
further developing the maths section and not only giving definitions but
also proofs. How come so many commands are disabled? Also, where can I
find a list of all commands currently availibe? \setminus works but isn't
mentioned on any of the formula help-pages.

     Do  you  mind  testing our implementation of AMS-Latex,
Nick? We've employed the whole repertoire:

Is there any easy way to verify that a file is a MIDI file?
We only allow uploads of files for which we can verify that the content
matches the file suffix.

The Unix file command supports many file formats, including MIDI files:

moeller <at> peace:~/projekte/wiki$ file Soundtrack.mid
Soundtrack.mid: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 12 tracks at 1/120
moeller <at> peace:~/projekte/wiki$ mv Soundtrack.mid xyue3r923
moeller <at> peace:~/projekte/wiki$ file xyue3r923
xyue3r923: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 12 tracks at 1/120

file uses header information ("magic numbers") to determine the file type.

Regards,

Erik

How and why are the commands limited anyway ?

     Different  security  models:  Texvc's "white list" sup-
ports only which commands as have explicitly  been  compiled
in;  WikiTeX' "black list", on the other hand, excludes dan-
gerous commands.

Please prepare the list of safe symbols missing from texvc's whitelist
if you want them added.

Re: What a crook

Ouch -- my sincere apology to everyone for having accidentally sent to 
wikitech a totally irrelvant message.  It was meant for a friend.

Meta-Wiki 1.3.7 + Enotif 1.33 ???

Dear developers - to whom it may concern -

I would be very happy if someone would be courageous to carefully apply 
my email notification patch to the Meta-Wiki. I don't know, what the 
initials "wm" stand for in the version "1.3.7wm", but perhaps the "wm" 
changes are marginal (I don't know).

Thus, you *could* perhaps simply change the running "1.3.7wm" version 
against my "mw137+en133" code (or better, copy the mw137+en133 OVER the 
existing directory, which keeps the existing upload/images directories). 
In any case, I am really looking forward, if the Meta-Wiki runs - at 
least for a while and for test purposes - the Enotif code.

What do you all think about that proposal ? Okay, I might be "pushy". 
Why not, look what Stanislaw Jerzy Lec said:  "In order to get to the 
source you have to swim against the stream."   -  "Um an die Quelle zu 
kommen, muss man gegen den Strom schwimmen."

The patch is *really* worth and robust enough to try it once 
medium-scale on the Meta-Wiki.
