1 Technical questions

Why do Atlas pages load and then later up-date the tex further?

This is because the Atlas uses WikiTex to render pages quickly and then Math Jax to give higher quality fonts. Math Jax takes some time to re-render the original page.

If you would rather use the Atlas without Math Jax, you can disable Math Jax in the Appearance section of your preferences.

I changed my user-defined commands but they don't up-date?

You need to change your wikitex commands to <wikitex refresh TeXInclude:Page_name>;.
Read more about refreshing <wikitex> commands.

Why are there so many unwanted extra lines on my page?

Unlike LaTeX, WikiTeX is very sensitive to line-breaks: make sure you remove all extra line-breaks in your source file.
Also, make sure all wikitex commands are followed by a semi-colon: <wikitex>;.

What do I do with umlauts and accents: e.g. is it ``ü`` or ``ue``?

Where possible, please use accents and umlauts on the Atlas:
- this is especially important for the names of bib-items but holds throughout the Atlas.
- e.g. [Lück2002].
If your key board does not supply the relevant characters, you can cut and paste from the following lists:
- Ä, ä, Ö, ö, Ü, ü; Á, á, É, é, Í, í, Ó, ó, ô, Ú, ú; À, à, È, è, Ì, ì, Ò, ò, Ù, ù
- ą, ć, Ć, ę, ł, Ł, ń, š, ś, Ś, ź, Ź, ż, Ż, Ą, Ę, Ń
