This is a bot for replacing custom texvc with LaTeX markup. Please visit mw:Extension:Math/Roadmap for the update plan, leave some feedback or join our commission at phab:T195861.
The bot will eventually be run across the whole of the WikiMedia's wikis and is being trialled on a limited number of wiki's.

The specific replacement the bot makes inside <math>...</math> tags are
| Current syntax | Suggested replacement | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| $ | \$ | redefinition would involve changing the character code |
| % | \% | redefinition would involve changing the character code |
| \or | \lor | see [1]; causes teubner to fail |
| \and | \land | causes normal align environment to fail |
| \pagecolor | remove | not needed and not working anymore, done manually |
| \part | \partial | acceptable if the document doesn't use sectioning with \part. |
| \ang | \angle | this only conflicts with siunitx package. |
| \C | \Complex | conflicts with puenc.def e.g. from hyperref package |
| \H | \mathbb{H} | conflicts with text command \H{0} which is ő. |
| \bold | \mathbf | |
| \Bbb | \mathbb |
On the English Wikipedia is will only be run once on a limited number of pages where problematic latex is found. A list of impacted pages can be found at User:Salix alba/maths2018.
