Forum: Instiki – Topic: tex2svg on Heroku If you’re using the “free” level of service at Heroku, then timeouts can be a problem. It takes a while for Heroku to spin up a Dyno. Just try editing the page again. Once tex2svg is up and running, it should respond very quickly. As to setup, there are many ways to do it. The simplest is simply to have two Heroku apps that talk to each other over http(s). So, e.g., in Instiki’s
This configuration can suffer from the timeout issue just mentioned. Better would be to have them both running in the same Heroku instance. But that’s a Heroku question, not an Instiki question and you’ll get better advice on one of the Heroku forums. |

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Debugging uninterruptible sleep Attach gdb to the process and try to figure out where it’s stuck. It would be interesting to me if there was an Instiki-specific reason these processes were getting stuck. But, so far, there’s no evidence for that. |

This was actually only a problem for IALs attached to (This commit gives the complete solution. Its predecessor was only a partial fix.) (N.b.: Maruku is now unvendored, so a
will pull in the latest version from Github.)
Works fine for me under Lion. (I haven’t updated to Mountain Lion, so I can’t make any promises about that. But I’d be surprised if there were any OS dependence of this; it ought to be a function of the Javascript engine in your browser. Or perhaps I misunderstood: were you running the server on Lion, or just the client?) |

Forum: itex2MML – Topic: weird math fonts Perhaps you need to install the STIX fonts (see here for some slightly out-of-date, but still useful instructions). I see those calligraphic letters all set in the same font. And, moreover and are set upright (as, for that matter, are and ). Alas, what you see is strongly-dependent on what fonts you have installed. In more detail: On my system, ℬ (U+212C) is available in

Forum: Instiki – Topic: How could I preview/undo changes? Every page has a “History”, a “Diff” between successive Revisions, and the ability to Rollback to a prior Revision. Instead of a Preview, successive edits, within 1/2 hour, by the same user, do not create a new Revision. So save your work, as you go and you’ll be able to see your progress and still not lose anything (remember, with other wikis, changes which have been previewed, but not saved, will be lost). |

Forum: Instiki – Topic: Feature Requests
I’m not quite sure what the issue is.
your theorems still get numbered (correctly, I hope). Since there’s no label, there’s no easy way to refer to this theorem, but maybe you don’t care. And if you do care, wouldn’t you want to avoid the fragility associated to an automatically-generated I must be misunderstanding… |

That’s a bug, which was fixed in Revision 770. Grab a copy of the latest development version (or get it from my BZR repository or from Github).
You can copy over your old database, and then follow the upgrade instructions to update the schema to the latest version. |
