Hi everyone,
Just to continue this thread, using MathJax in Sphinx is now even easier:
1. Download the MathJax extension, mathjax.py, and add it to your
Sphinx document
http://bitbucket.org/kevindunn/sphinx-extension-mathjax/src/tip/mathjax.py
2. At a minimum, ensure these lines appear in your Sphinx conf.py
file, after the extensions list:
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('.'))
extensions = ['other.extensions.are.here.already', 'mathjax'] #
or point to the ``mathjax.py`` file
mathjax_path = 'http://mathjax.connectmv.com/MathJax.js'
The last line is new: it points to a public installation of MathJax
that's free to use, both for production and development uses (see more
info here: http://mathjax.connectmv.com). Previously you had to
install your own copy of MathJax - now you just need a web connection
for it to work.
Of course you can replace mathjax_path with your own local or remote
copy of the MathJax files for the times you don't have internet
access.
Regards,
Kevin
