Hi Carlos,
And it works :-)
Just some small things I noticed on my end:
* the line ending/end of file thingy in
spyderlib/utils/inspector/conf.py caused an error here (popup showing
something was wrong on line 170). Removing the tab on the line 170 or
adding an extra white line resolved the issue for me
* maybe this is well known for writing math in sphinx, but it took me
some attempts before I realised some of the LaTeX commands (not all) had
to be escaped twice. For instance \\frac{}{} and \\text
* Maybe add a MathJax reference in: Preferences > Object Inspector >
Render mathematical equations (build-in MathJax libs) or something?
Great feature! Thanks for that. Does Matlab has something as nice as
this ;-) ?
Regards,
David

Hi David,
Don't worry, it was my time frame. This is ready for merge and I'm
going to do it right now. Please be aware that this feature requires
Sphinx 1.1+ and that it can be activated/deactivated on
Preferences > Object Inspector > Render mathematical equations
I finally added MathJax to the tree to have a really smooth experience
(it's slow and tends to fail if used from the net). Besides, although
on the outside you won't see much difference, on the inside I
re-architectured the rich text feature to be much more easier to
extend. So wait for more juicy features in the future. Next one: a
more beautiful docstring header.
Cheers,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Just to be clear: I didn't mend to push you to push to code asap, I
am just curious about the result :-)

Hi David,
I haven't pushed this yet because I'm fine tuning the details of our
implementation. You're right, the problem with pngmath is that it
needs a latex environment to work and because of that it's probably
slower. However, since most scientists already have latex, I could
add it later as an option if there is enough demand. jsmath (which
works on Sphinx 1.0 and below) is too old by now (compared to
mathjax) and it has always had font problems when you don't have
latex installed.
I plan to push this work during the next week.
Cheers,
Carlos

Hi,
This looks very sweet indeed! Where is this implementation living?
Already in the default development branch or in your clone of the
spyder repo?
I assume the other Sphinx methods of rendering math, that is to PNG
files via Latex (sphinx.ext.pngmath), is a non go due to the dvi or
latex dependencies?

Hi Jonatan,
Thanks, it looks good indeed!
I think you're right. Ubuntu 12.04 will include MathJax as a new
package, so we should include it as an optional dependency. For
Windows and Mac we can download it from the net if people wants to
use it offline. Of course this is more work for me, and that's
precisely what I was trying to avoid with a simple inclusion :-)
Cheers,
Carlos

Wow this looks awesome - that would definitely be a great addition.
I know MathJax is javascript - but maybe it could be an optional
dependency like Sphinx, rope, pylint etc..? Or maybe one could
select
between disable, online rendering and offline rendering.

After a couple of days of work I made that the object inspector
could
render latex formulas in beautiful images using MathJax, a
javascript
library for this purpose and for which Sphinx 1.1+ has a plugin.
Now my question is: should we include mathjax in the tree? We
could call
it from its location on the web but I'll be in favor of the
inclusion so
that this feature could work on any circumstance, i.e.
on/offline. Note
that mathjax would add around 4.5 MiB in size to Spyder.

Carlos
