#mathjax — Public Fediverse posts

It looks like the #DLMF website does not play nice with browsers set to dark mode. That the LaTeX formulae remain black even in dark mode is only a little more frustrating. Shouldn't #MathJax be able to detect whether dark mode is enabled, at the very least?

📈🧮 In a discussion on the #DEVONthink forum (https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/latex-inline-rendering-now-also-broken-in-dt-4-2/86193/5), I just came across #XyJax for #MathJax. I didn’t know it before. It's an Xy-pic extension for MathJax 3, so it can be used to draw commutative diagrams. Very useful. I will definitely experiment with this:

📚 https://sonoisa.github.io/xyjax-v3/xyjax-v3.html

The support for #MathML in browser is often poor. The fact that instead of improving it the developers seem to be instead pressuring the standard bodies to impoverish the language only makes this worse.

(I am aware of #MathJax. We shouldn't need a heavy-duty #JavaScript library to solve typesetting problems. That's exactly what browser engines are there fore.)

I weep for the status of scientific publishing in the modern world.

(This rant is offered by my experience looking for options to make the SPHERIC newsletter available both in PDF and in HTML form. I don't even need complex math usually,, we try to avoid it in contributions because it's hard to typeset math outside of the TeX world. But the fact that in 2026 online the only safe way seems to be to typeset everything manually or rely on huge JavaScript libraries is a little depressing.)

　WordPressで数式を表示するためにMathJaxを使っているが、そのためのコードをこれまではそれぞれの投稿ページにカスタムHTMLやカスタムJavaScriptを使って記載していた。今回、使っているテーマCocoonに子テーマ用のjavascript.jsがあって、テーマファイルエディターから編集できることを知ったので、利用することにした。javascript.jsを見ると次のように書いてあった。

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@dingc/115519958814160502

This is nice: With https://phanpy.social, one can now display mathematical formulas that were written with the #MathJax extension of https://mathstodon.xyz. So it is now possible for people with accounts on other servers to read complex mathematics correctly.

One can also enter mathematical formulas on Phanpy, but the automatic display of the incomplete formula while it is typed is of course not (yet?) implemented.
\[ \sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac1{n^3} \neq \frac{p}{q} \]

Ah, the joys of converting #LaTeX to SVG! 🤓 Why rely on third-party servers when you can fumble around with #offline MathJax? 🚫📡 Because who doesn't love a math formula #adventure that requires you to wrestle with compatibility issues like a modern-day gladiator? 🏋️‍♂️🎲

How to use #LaTex or better to say #Mathjax within #H5P ?

Here is a resource to help you using some LaTex in your H5P contents, independently if you teach in a #STEM field or not, you might want to have a look at this interactive book to find some "tricks" you could use to improve your interactives 😉

Have fun!

Fun with #CSS.

Using mathjax in my blog, some formulas are vertically scrollable. It seems the height is computed wrongly. May be related to exponents in the top line, but I have no clue and gut to dig deeper.

A hack-fix is a rule in my own style sheet for the selector with "padding: 5px 0;". Works. But don't leave without explanation! I use

--comment: "Fix scroll on multiline formulas with padding.";

and can even see it in Firefox developer tools 🙂 .

Was ich heute gelernt habe:

Mit #MathJax Formeln in Webseiten einbauen. Mich wurmt es als alter Purist zwar ein wenig, dass man dafür JavaScript braucht - aber elegant sieht's schon aus!

@hobbypaedagoge meinem Wissens nach #Moodle unterstützt #Mathjax und nicht wirkliche #LaTeX. Diese Erklärung könnte es eventuell helfen:

I've updated the Simple #MathJax #WordPress plugin to add support for MathJax 4: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-mathjax/

So I've decided to join the 90's and do a blog. I have a domain, looking for a host. Cheaper = better, up to a point. Any ideas?

Must haves:

(1) Markdown support
(2) Math typesetting
(3) Good tagging
(4) RSS support (multiple RSS feeds by tag preferred)

I've tried static sites and I've not gotten very far.

I'm open to static - that IS probably best for my needs - but DIY static hasn't worked.

Boosts for visibility appreciated.

Considering to join a lemmy instance not the least because it says "you can also blog on lemmy" (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html?highlight=blog#lemmy-as-a-blog) I have one question though:

Can I have MathJax or KaTeX to do formulas?

#lemmy @asklemmy #mathjax #katex #fedihelp

#CryptPad still has a few rough edges:

• opening a new window takes a lot of time, which becomes an issue if your browser likes to aggressively unload tabs (looking at you, #ZenBrowser);
• the Markdown editor lacks proper #LaTeX support. It’s possible to embed a #MathJax code block, but inline LaTeX is impossible;
• the UI is ugly. Especially in dark mode. It does not reflect the great quality of the project, and that’s sad.

Anyway, give CryptPad a try if you haven’t already!

WooooHoooo!!!!

I've been testing and fixing and testing and fixing #markdown rendering today.

I've now got an #HTML header I'm happy with, complete with obsessively tweaked code blocks and block quotes.

And #MathJax Finally Works!!!!

Lovely typeset equations (after much frustration).

Plus tables that look like tables, footnotes that footnote, and hypothetically tables of content that will be content to function (yet to test).

Way too much thinking about #typography for one day.

Now... how to make Latex markdown rendering work.

I know #MathJax exists is that the best option?

🚀 Behold, the marvel of Mathup: an "easy" #MathML tool that combines the thrill of writing cryptic code with the excitement of needing a decoder ring to read it. 😵 Why not just use MathJax? 🤔 Because that would be too easy, and who needs convenience when you can have chaos? 🎉
https://mathup.xyz/ #Mathup #Coding #Chaos #DecoderRing #TechHumor #MathJax #HackerNews #ngated

Es könnte sich aber lohnen, das CSS von #Mathup zu analysieren. Offenbar biegen sie die eher maue #MathML-Optik mit Chromium-Browsern etwas besser hin. Etwa die auch hier bereits erwähnten zu kleinen Summen- und Integralzeichen, obwohl man Attribute wie stretchy und largeop verwendet hat.

Vielleicht wird unter der Haube auch mit SVG gefrickelt, wie von #MathJax bekannt.

Der am wenigsten nervige Browser für native Formeln und auch sonst ist noch immer Firefox. 🔥

https://runarberg.github.io/mathup/

#Mathup klingt für mich eher interessant als Hilfsmittel für die statische Erzeugung von #MathML und nicht als Alternative zu #MathJax.

Die Stärke von MathML ist ja gerade, sich unabhängig von JS zu machen.

Thanks @Meyerweb & @fractalkitty in particular for helping me understand the uses of both #MathML and #LaTex ( and #MathJax ) at yesterday's #IndieWeb Front End Study Hall. I updated https://lab.artlung.com/mathml/ a bit.

@mekeor @quincy I wish I could figure out how to let forgejo/codeberg render math formula of TeX/LaTeX/MathJax/KaTeX whatever in org-mode files.

But there seems to be a clash: I faintly remember a Codeberg issue saying no to MathJax in every delivered HTML and instead it has KaTeX server-side rendering, whereas the org-mode manual talks about MathJax explicitly.

@Codeberg

Nice Christmas gift: MathJax in Markdown on Codeberg.

https://codeberg.org/harald/Codeschnipselnotizen/src/branch/main/MathJaxTryout.md

**Except:** when I look at the page's HTML code, there is no MathJax. There is katex, which seems to do something similar. 🙂

Anyway, as long as a (La)TeX manual or the amsldoc https://texdoc.org/serve/amsldoc/0 suffices to get the math typed, all is fine :-)

(I am sure that not long ago I saw an open issue discussing MathJax in Markdown. Can't find it anymore.)

Hm? Does #Obsidian override some of the default web / #MathJax colors with their own now? Is there a list of the affected colors somewhere?

My #mathjax RSS hack is improved by turning it into a #jekyll plugin:Good work @cboettig ! goo.gl/lrD5M goo.gl/znyGn
