Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply. I had looked through the kantorsite code before and
suspected that that was the problematic statement, but the vote of
confidence from someone knowledgable about MathJax helped me a great deal.
Thanks!
In other news, I think I've answered both of my questions! I've spent the
afternoon learning more of the TW5 internals, refreshing myself on working
with JSON, etc. and I now have a modified version of the MathJax plugin
which supports (a) loading (specially-formatted for now) TeX commands from
one or more tiddlers and includes them in the initial MathJax configuration
script and (b) seems to work (hopefully without any major side effects) for
reveal widgets and basically everything else in the story-river. I'd like
to release it to GitHub once I've tested it a bit more to make sure that
it's not horribly buggy (and to add some convenience features if time
allows).
For those looking for a solution to (b), I simply changed the second
argument of the mutation observer call (i.e., the list of things for it to
monitor) that Peter mentioned to read
"{subtree:true,attributes:true,childList:true}". So far it's working fine
(no performance hit or bugs identified yet) for my relatively small TW5
file, but YMMV. As a bonus, this easy little fix also makes it so that when
editing Tiddlers the preview pane will render MathJax in real time just
like on stackexchange! So I'm a very happy camper.
Thanks again for the help! I will post in this group when I get around to
uploading this to GitHub.
