Depending on your preferences, Mediawiki will generally try to display formulae in HTML where possible and only use png images where HTML is insufficient. Adding whitespace like that makes Mediawiki think it can't be done (simply) in HTML so it uses an image. The English Wikipedia help page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula) explains it (the "Forced PNG rendering" section) quite well. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
