Manual texification of articles

Hello, I am a new user at EoM. I noticed that you and User:Ulf Rehmann were in the process of "texifying" articles that had only image-based formulae. I just wanted to ask what method is preferred to manually convert images that cannot be processed with MathPix to LaTeX, and to offer my help in the process of texifying articles that need it. Thanks. - Mihir Narayanan (talk) 07:25, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mihir, sorry for the late reply! I can happily tell you that all formulas except for the articles listed here have been retexified successfully. So there is not much work to do (if you want, feel free to manually retexify one of these 68 articles, it is not very fun work though). Feel free to make changes to the content too, the EoM is in need of that :)

Nice to meet you. This is no urgent message, so I will leave it here. I will periodically remove entries from the "still to texify" list and add them to the "texified" list as I complete their texification. Mihir Narayanan (talk) 06:26, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Amazing and merry christmas! --Maximilian Janisch (talk) 19:28, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your correction efforts

Hi Liuyao,

thank you for your recent efforts in correcting mistakes made by the automatic Texification.

There were two types of Texification performed: The fully automatic type and the semi-automatic type. The semi-automatic type of correction was manually checked by humans, so it should be fine. There seems to be a systematic set of errors in the automatic correction though; Feel free to let me know about them and maybe we can fix those automatically across the whole encyclopedia.

Best, --Maximilian Janisch (talk) 23:18, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank YOU for the great work! Happy to fix what I see, but if you can automate the process, the majority of the typos that I'm fixing are the following:

* subscripts (and superscripts) closing } misplaced, such as \sum_{n=1}^3 becoming \sum_{n}=1^3

* Some (but not all) appearances of \dots need , before and after

* linebreak after inline TeX, introducing unwanted spaces (maybe should remove all linebreaks unless for new paragraph or display TeX?)

** "hyphenated" terms such as $n$-dimensional appearing as $n$- dimensional

** misplaced space when inline TeX followed by an opening (

* \overline XXX gets a \; which I'm not sure should be fixed or not.

Some commutative diagrams are harder to fix, I'm afraid. See class field theory for an example. Liuyao (talk) 05:51, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
