Hi,
Regarding jsmath and mathjax... It seems like we have the issues
worked out for the Sage notebook. Yeah, and thanks to Jason, David,
etc., for their persistence.
At what point should we merge it?
I hesitate to merge it into #11080, since we've already been delaying
that ticket for a long time as we added more things. It would be great
if reviewing could finish for #11080 and its dependencies. Then we
could incorporate mathjax into sagenb 0.9.1, which could probably also
be reviewed in time for sage 5.0.
I was just browsing mathoverflow, e.g., [1], and noticed that suddenly
their math typesetting is very, very painful to look at. It turns out
they recently switched from jsmath to mathjax. Even trying all
settings, I couldn't get their mathjax to look usable (I think they
have the same Stix fonts on OS X 10.7 bug we saw earlier). They do
have a button in the right to "(Re)process math with jsMath.", which
works fine.
There are discussions about including the workaround Davide posted in
the next maintenance release of Mathjax, so hopefully soon it will be
worked around.
If we do have further reported issues, we might want to
consider supporting both temporarily...
I think supporting both would not be doable for me timewise (if you want
passing doctests, etc.). If someone else wanted to make those changes
to support both, though, go right ahead.
Thanks,
Jason
