Extension:MathJax

The MathJax extension enables MathJax, a Javascript library, for typesetting TeX and LaTeX formulae in MediaWiki inside math environments. The following math environments are defined for inline style math:


 *

And the following math environments are defined for display style math:

MathJax produces nice and scalable mathematics, see their website (http://www.mathjax.org/) for a demonstration. This extension also enables the usage of  and   tags with automatic formula numbering. If needed you can still hand label by using.

Comparison with previous versions
It seems that almost all functionality of previous version, especially auto numbering and equation referencing, can be directly implemented by MathJax. This extension simply keeps math expressions in an article from parsed by MediaWiki so that MathJax could do the last minute rendering.

Following the previous versions by Dirk Nuyens, I kept tag that actually is nothing but   from MathJax with the code inside being parsed as usual.

The dollar($) symbol in non-mathematical context can be escaped as \$.

Usage
This extension allows for typical LaTeX math integration, with the exception that single dollar  must be replaced with double dollars. For example:

(Which comes from a preprint of Jon M. Borwein, et. al. Some arithmetic properties of short random walk integrals.)

Change log

 * 0.5 (20101116)
 * Initial public release.


 * 0.5.1 (20101201)
 * Modifications to allow integration with Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki.
 * Compatability code for Parser::MARKER_SUFFIX added.


 * 0.5.2 (20110203)
 * Kind of revert move away from the markers used by MW as it does no really matter which ones we use (so no need for the SMW fix from 0.5.1 anymore).
 * Allowed \label and \tag at the same time as one would expect.
 * Added clickable links for the formula references, this currently assumes the used label or tag is a valid XHTML id.


 * 0.5.2b (20110215)
 * Removed redundant comma's in the MathJax configuration hub file to please IE...


 * 0.6 (20120418)
 * Updates for MediaWiki 1.18 (tested with 1.18.2) and MathJax 2.0, amonst others incorporating a patch from EvanChou (thanks!) and the CDN modification of Evan. This is mainly a maintenance update to get the extension back on track for 1.18.2.


 * 0.7 (20120422)
 * Complete rewrite, $ and $$ can now be turned on and off, much better protection and detection, numbering is consistent among different environments, no global variables anymore (everything is now in one class), new tag, magic words to turn on and off features: __MATHJAX__ and __NOMATHJAX__ , __MATHJAX_NUMBER__ and __MATHJAX_NONUMBER__ , __MATHJAX_DOLLAR__ and __MATHJAX_NODOLLAR__ , and __MATHJAX_DOLLARDOLLAR__ and __MATHJAX_NODOLLARDOLLAR__.


 * 1.0 (2015)
 * Version before archival in 2017.


 * 1.1 (20190501)
 * Restored. Update for MediaWiki 1.27, using script loading method done in extension Extension:SimpleMathJax. Disable support for . Use Cloudflare CDN by default. Configuration parameter for font size.
