Description

By simply calling dumpHTML.php on a page with Mathematics Latex generated pictures, the URLs (for Mathematics Latex generated pictures) are dead.

What I do:
dumpHTML.php -s 152464 -e 152465

What I get:
A static HTML page with URLs like "../../../../../math/1/e/6/1e6e341b47a30a3e3ada904701a1d12f.png".

What I want:
A static HTML page with URLs like "../../../../../images/math/1/e/6/1e6e341b47a30a3e3ada904701a1d12f.png".

Remark:
Modifying the line 710 in dumpHTML.inc like following seems to resolve the issue : $wgMathPath = "$wgScriptPath/images/math";

Version: unspecified
Severity: trivial

I'm not sure if that's a bug. However
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85801/
will change to absolute URL's for the fallback images. If it's merged one day.
You might want to have a look at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DumpBackup.php#Examples
for MathML export.

Patch was abandoned, but this should be retested.
