How to use MathJax or other rendering engine?

[oplatek]

When using MathJax via
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=default"></script> the equations are not rerendered.

Do you have any recommendation for that?

The problem can be seen in this example:

I would also really love to be able to integrate MathJax.

What's the problem here? Would you like livedown to support an option for rendering math expressions out of the box?

Something like

livedown start --math example.md

@shime Sure, something like that would be great. It seems MathJax rendering doesn't work at all right now. Adding the usual MathJax JavaScript boilerplate like @oplatek mentioned doesn't do the trick in live down. Thanks!

For me it does™.

What browser are you using? Could you inspect the output in the console, maybe there's some errors being reported there...

Any additional info would help. Thanks!

@shime I created minimal "broken" example where MathJax is not rerendered.

The source code is here:

The only time when it is rendered correctly is when you open the webpage with e.g. when you type :LivedownPreview in Vim.

After that the image is correctly rendered only:

However if I type anything else in the document, the equation is not rerendered.

Similar question, does this work with mermaid flowchart diagrams?
