Technically this will be easy to implement. However, I'm not sure if there is really a demand. I created https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Mathematics#Missing_macros_in_.3Cmath_.2F.3E_environment to start a discussion.
ok. I'm going to add
⨍ U+2A0D finite part integral Integral mit endlichem Teil ⨍ ⨍ \dashint
⨎ U+2A0E integral with double stroke Integral mit Doppelstrich ⨎ ⨎ \ddashint
unless there are any objections?
@Mathmensch I think it's worthwhile to wait for https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/pull/1723 to be resolved. That way MathML disabled browsers do not suffer from suboptimal spacing.
@Physikerwelt you should mention this issue on the MathJax tracker and we will very likely include it.
Unfortunately, the latest version of texvcjs allows the command, even though the underlying rendering engine does not support it. While this is documented in the mathoid doc, it currently does not create a meaningful error message when used.
Hello,
I am a bit confused. Is it now possible to use the average integral in (german) Wikipedia? I got an error while writing <math>\intbar</math> .
I am looking into this right now. First, I am going to remove \strokeint command T348373. I will look into \intbar as next step.
@Christian1985 can you check if the intbar macro looks correct in the docu https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-services-texvcjs/blob/master/doc/main.pdf . If so the next step is to find the equivalent utf-8 char and put it into the mathjax plugin
Hello @Physikerwelt
I think intbar corresponds to Unicode U+2A0D and is correctly represented in the PDF. The strokedint corresponds to the Unicode character U+2A0F. According to the German Wikipedia, the Unicode character is also called "integral average with slash". However, the mathematician and author Evans uses the Unicode character U+2A0D for the average integral in his books. I find that somewhat irritating.

Thank you. This is an excellent reference. However, it does not list \intbar. In the PDF the symbol was produced using the stix package, which was only added for this special command. Maybe a better way to move forward is to remove \intbar from texvcjs (it was never usable anyhow) and use \dashint instead.
What do you think?
I cannot find a preference for one command or the other. The German Wikipedia article lacks a source. I don't care whether you use the \intbar or \dashint command.
Thank you. I am uncertain how to proceed. While technically all names are the same, I think it makes sense to choose the names for the macros in a way that feels canonical and consistent for the users.
I see that those two commands are already implemented on the MathJax side, I only need to add them in texvcjs and that's it.

Status update: After careful consideration, I chose the stix macro names. It is well documented and allow to add more integral sings if we need them in the future https://mirror.physik.tu-berlin.de/pub/CTAN/fonts/stix/doc/stix.pdf
The basic stuff is implemented, but we need 3 review cycles to get this into production. This might take quite a while.
All symbols from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/fonts/stix2-type1/stix2.pdf can be added with the same mechanism. However, I suggest to focus on the two symbols that were requested in 2016 first:-)

[mediawiki/extensions/Math@master] Add intbar and intBar to MathML rendering
Due to the very fast implementation of @Stegmujo native rendering is ready, for community review.
Also a big thank you to @Stegmujo @Andreg-p and @Jdforrester-WMF for the code review.
All what remains to be done is
- validate rendering by the community group
- deploy new mathoid version to production
- update documentation
Hallo @Physikerwelt ,
leider sehen die zwei neuen Integrale ziemlich kaputt aus.
Ich nutze die aktuelle Chrome-Version auf einem Ubuntu-Linux Betriebssystem.
Danke fürs testen. Da hast Du recht. Ich hatte es nur mit Firefox angeschaut
(SVG mode)
{F38189939}
(native mode)
@Physikerwelt bei mir sieht es im Firefox genauso aus wie im Chrome, außer die erste Zeile, die Du geschrieben hast. Da sind die beiden Integrale auch groß dargestellt. In Deinem Bild wäre es auch noch wünscheswert, wenn die Integralgrenze A näher am Integral stünde.
@Physikerwelt , die Zeile
intbar in native mode <math forcemathmode=native>\intbar \intBar</math>
erzeugt in Chrome kleine Integrale, die sich der normalen Zeilenhöhe anpassen und in meinem Firefox sehen die genauso aus, wie auf deinem Screenshot - also deutlich größer sind als die normale Zeilenhöhe.
Und was wäre richtig? Sollte es größer sein?
Ich habe Mal selbst in Chrome gestestet, dort sieht das neue integral genauso (schlecht) aus wie andere Integrale die mit diesem meachanismus erzeugt werden.
@Physikerwelt , spontan denke ich, dass große Zeichen richtig wären. Ich habe auch mal
<math forcemathmode=native>\displaystyle \intbar \intBar</math>
getestet. Das wird bei mir in Chrome auch klein dargestellt, was ich so nicht erwartet hätte. Mit dem Native-Mode habe ich mich aber noch nie befasst. Das normale Integral wird auch groß dargestellt.
Ja, native-mode ist auch noch in der erprobungsphase. Das Problem mit dem schlechten SVG rendering ist ein Problem der alten MathJax 2 version , und wir können nicht updaten weil einige macros dann nicht funktionieren https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/extensions/mediawiki-texvc.html . Von daher führt für alle Integral Symbole, wohl nur der Weg über das neue Rendering zum Ziel.

Change 964932 merged by jenkins-bot:
[operations/deployment-charts@master] mathoid: update version
I added some documentation.
I will close this task now, even though the SVG layout is not good at all, but this affects other integral symbols as well, thus I think it is better to discuss that as a separate issue.
