Feature requests

Know a fix that should be included in SOUP (or an issue that could be fixed)? List it here.

Scheduled for next release

These fixes have been or will soon be added to the v1.5 development branch, and will be included in SOUP v1.6:

• Improved fixes for MathJax preview broken when equations contain \labels and Turn off MathJax noErrors extension during preview

Possible additions

These issues might be fixed in a future release, but need some work first:

• Make Stack Exchange sites compatible to OS X Lion full screen mode: This should be easy enough to fix, but I'd need to find a Mac to reproduce it on first.

• Feature request: user script or option to turn off instant MathJax rendering (MathJax): Might be worth it, even though it means adding an extra UI element.

• Any chance of MathJax in chat? (MathJax, chat): Probably too major a change for SOUP, plus limited utility unless enabled for all users. See Google Chrome Chat MathJax Extension and ChatJax for alternative implementations.

Declined:

These issues are out of scope for SOUP, or cannot be easily fixed:

• LaTeX in post preview is slow (MathJax): Probably too difficult to fix reliably; could reconsider if it turns out not to be. See A prototype for incremental preview updates for an existing user script that attempts this, and Feature request: user script or option to turn off instant MathJax rendering for an alternative workaround.

• Viewing single answers in math-heavy threads takes too long (MathJax): The fix itself is actually quite easy (just set the elements option in MathJax config), but it does no good — typesetting the rest of the page causes the text to jump up and down so much that you still have to wait for it to finish before you can actually read anything. Seems effectively unfixable. :-(

Proposed:

Feel free to add new proposals here.
