[Building Sakai] Wiki Message with JsMath

[Matthew Jones]

I haven't actually tried this in awhile but I was looking at
suppressing it, however in jsmath they have a plugin

plugins/autoload.js

which already does this.

According to the basics
http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/authors/basics.html they
recommend loading up jsmath with
"<SCRIPT SRC="path-to-jsMath/easy/load.js"></SCRIPT>"

In the rwiki (./rwiki-tool/tool/src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml)  they've
got  "<param-value>/library/jsMath/jsMath.js</param-value>" but I
think you'd want to change this to
<param-value>/library/jsMath/easy/load.js</param-value>

and it should not load jsmath if there is no jsmath.

May we suggest that you download jsMaths fonts form http://xxxxx ........."
