Dear readers,

I am using MW 1.26.2 and MariaDB which comes with CentOS 7.

According to the official MediaWiki Math extension, Mathoid is the recommended way to render Math, but all they write is

$wgMathValidModes[] = MW_MATH_MATHML;
$wgDefaultUserOptions['math'] = MW_MATH_MATHML; 

should be in LocalSettings.php. Here they talk about extra software that should be installed, but it is not clear if this is also for Mathoid rendering.

Looking at setting up Mathoid, I can see that it will expose the service at port 10044.

Question

Can anyone explain what I need to do on the MediaWiki host to get it to use the Mathoid service?

See Mathoid.
