Math does not show correctly

xlnwel opened this issue · 2 comments

Mathjax shows correctly on the local server, but when it renders incorrectly on the github pages.

For example, the following snapshot is from demonstration code: https://mmistakes.github.io/so-simple-theme/mathjax-example/

I haven't spent an enormous amount of time on this and I'm no Jekyll expert, but changing _includes/scripts.html to incorporate the changes in this post seems to work. Admittedly, I'm having trouble with local rendering and haven't tested on Github Pages yet, but maybe they are related issues.

In particular, I changed these lines:

...
<script>
// http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/upgrading/v2.html
MathJax = {
  tex: {
      tags: "{{ site.mathjax.tags | default: 'ams' }}"    // eq numbering options: none, ams, all
  },
...

to:

...
<script>
// http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/upgrading/v2.html
MathJax = {
  tex: {
      tags: "{{ site.mathjax.tags | default: 'ams' }}"    // eq numbering options: none, ams, all
      packages: ["base", "ams"]
  },
  loader: {
      load: ["ui/menu", "[tex]/ams"]
  },
...

and I'm getting proper rendering again. It seems from the blog post the MathJax configuration changed somewhat dramatically, so the existing tag configuration may not work as it used to. I think I'm explicitly loading "ams" here, which may or may not be desirable. I'd greatly appreciate if someone more knowledgeable can verify this fix or point out the proper solution within the context of the theme.

Thanks!!
