I tried to enable MathJax with -m option for .rst slides but this simply didn't work. I have docutils 0.12. Others with the same problem?

Run landslide -m on an .rst file containing this:

MathJax Test
============

\\[ \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \\right)^2 \\]

It works for me. Does it work for you?

Doesn't work. I tried also with with math role:

:math:\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2

but without success. Can i get any debugging informations from landslide?

adamzap commented

That's odd.

You can try the -b flag, but I'm not sure that it will help.

The best thing to do is probably to look at the generated HTML file and debug from there.

Just as a reference for future people who look at this issue.

The author might have used a custom theme or an old version of a theme that did not have this in its base.html:

      <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ js.path_url }}"></script>
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    {% if math_output %}
      <script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
        MathJax.Hub.Config({
          tex2jax: { inlineMath: [['$','$'],['\\(','\\)']] }
        });
      </script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML"></script>
    {% endif %}
    <!-- /Javascripts -->
</head>
<body>

Happened to me.

Offtopic: While I'm at it, a few minor points the authors might consider:

  • It should not be too hard enabling math output for markdown as well (with the right mathjax config that sets the right delimeters for math input - at least in latex format)
  • A dark theme included in the package would be nice
  • A mechanism to register themes or create theme plugin packages could be good. I helped myself with this: https://github.com/con-f-use/landslide-jcgb/blob/master/install.py
