Some of the pages do. I've tested it with some of the pages from Tom's gsoc branch which contain a lot of math, and it has worked fine. The benefit is that the build time is *way* faster, and you also save a ton of disk space by not having LaTeX images (even our docs were half the size, and that's just with math mainly in the mpmath docs). And of course, the MathJax math looks way nicer. Aaron Meurer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
