Christian Lawson-PerfectI've updated the Simple <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WordPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordPress</a> plugin to add support for MathJax 4: <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-mathjax/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-mathjax/</a>

Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them)<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@fractalkitty" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fractalkitty</a> I have an update to this: I switched from the MarkdownIt KaTeX (<a href="https://mdit-plugins.github.io/katex.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mdit-plugins.github.io/katex.html</a>) plugin to the MathJax (<a href="https://mdit-plugins.github.io/mathjax.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mdit-plugins.github.io/mathjax.html</a>) one, and so far it looks like it's working! This is in Eleventy, with the LaTeX math expressions embedded in Markdown.While KaTeX includes the "output" option (<a href="https://katex.org/docs/options" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://katex.org/docs/options</a>) to do HTML, MathML, or both (default: both), the plugin doesn't seem to expose that option, and since the MathJax one does just MathML, it looks right for me in NetNewsWire (macOS) and CapyReader (Android).The post is here (<a href="https://reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/2025/06/reverb-part-1/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/2025/06/reverb-part-1/</a>) and the feed is here (<a href="https://reillyspitzfaden.com/blog/feed.xml" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://reillyspitzfaden.com/blog/feed.xml</a>), and I'd be interested to hear if it's working for other people.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaTeX</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/KaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KaTeX</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Eleventy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eleventy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/11ty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#11ty</a>

Christian Lawson-PerfectI've finally worked out how to write a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> v3 extension which adds a TeX macro calling some JS function that returns TeX code!It only took four years since MathJax 3 was released. 😞 MathJax is the de facto standard tool for rendering TeX maths notation on the web, and it's only developed by two people, neither of whom are particularly interested in writing documentation. This is a textbook case of the misaligned motivations in open source: rendering maths notation is hugely valuable to a lot of very big companies, but the MathJax project gets relatively little funding.And Davide doesn't seem to work in a way that makes it possible for volunteers to contribute to the project, so development only happens at his and Volker's speed.

Seán FobbeI'm planning on adding support for mathematical equations to my Hugo blog soon and am trying to decide between KaTeX and MathJax.What's the word on the street? Which do people prefer and why? The most recent comparisons I could find are ~3 years old, so any recent experiences are appreciated.<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/KaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KaTeX</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Math</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Equations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Equations</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blogging</a>

OblomovI actually wonder if some kind of <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/JavaScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a> polyfill could be created to implement support for these features without UA support. It would be suboptimal, similarly to how <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> is inferior to UA support for <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/MathML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathML</a>, but could work as a stopgap solution to promote the adoption and standardization of these extensions.

ABDELILAH JALALHi. This is an Android client for <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> that supports <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> ( <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Latex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Latex</a> ). forked from <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Tusky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tusky</a>.

AͫdͣeͭrͭethAny chance we get the color.js extension to <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a> installed on mathstodon, <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@christianp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@christianp</a>?

Keith Jones<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@dmm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@dmm</a> to my knowledge you have to be using something that's rendering the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mathstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mathstodon</a> web page since that's what injects the necessary <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mathjax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mathjax</a> . I don't know of any apps yet that render LaTeX, but would be happy to learn if there are.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@christianp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@christianp</a> when I first accessed mathstodon it installed an icon on my phone. Is that just a link/shell for opening the web page (I mean I'm clearly not in Chrome or something), or that a bona fide app?

Colin the Mathmo<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@lucakollmer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@lucakollmer</a> It's an implementation of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathJax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathJax</a>, so any guide to MathJax will give you the syntax. Then for inline formulas use backslash round bracket, and for display use backslash square bracket.I think.
