To contribute to this thread after many months:
Actually, python-markdown does support math via mathjax, if you install
mdx_math and use it as one of the extensions. mdx_math is just a python
file - you can install it using pip - so it will work on any python
installation. To use it in viewrendered and vr2, create a @setting node
with the headline
@string view-rendered-md-extensions = mdx_math
You also have to do one more thing, though, which is to cause the html
output to emit the right mathjax script elements, so that mathjax gets
loaded. I conditionally add the following the the html generated by
markdown:
MD_MATHJAX_SCRIPT = r'''<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
config: ["MMLorHTML.js"],
jax: ["input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS", "output/NativeMML"],
extensions: ["MathMenu.js", "MathZoom.js"],
"HTML-CSS": { fonts: ["TeX"] }
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.4/MathJax.js";></script>
'''
_script_header = MD_MATHJAX_SCRIPT if 'type="math/tex' in html else
''
html = _script_header + '<style
type="text/css">body{background-color:%s;}</style>\n'
%(self.md_background_color) + html
But the real problem, as I see it, with the markdown package is not the
math but that it does not add a stylesheet to the html output. And I don't
feel like figuring one out. It's just too tedious.
