MathJax and linkedom...

[swamidass]

Has anyone figured out how to use MathJax on a linkedom object?

There are some tools for applying it to a jsdom (e.g. https://github.com/pkra/mathjax-node-page/), but I'd prefer to use linkedom.

that page is archived, and so is mostly everything else linked through the mathjax-node project.
I also have other priorities these days, so I won't spend time on this but I'd be happy to consider a MR.

Understood. I"m not sure if it is an enhancement though. It is possible that mathjax will work on it and i just need to learn how, or that Mathjax needs to be changed.

Thanks for your work on this project though. It's great!

FYI mathjax/MathJax-src#774 exists now. It might not be what the OP was looking for but it shows that MathJax needs the same workarounds it needs for jsdom - not really unexpected and also not any more complex.

Side comment: I use linkedom for SSR with MathJax extensively but entirely without MathJax's document-level magic - I just run the "find equations" logic within linkedom and then run MathJax with its lite adaptor to render individual expression. I find this makes it much easier to control the resulting output.

@pkra awesome, thank you! It looks like there's not much to do in here then, at least until that MR lands. Closing for the time being.

It looks like this is what's needed here, though I haven't tested it.

mathjax/MathJax#2833 (comment)

I'll let you know if MathJax needs any unimplemented functionality.
