We need a CDN for MathJax.js for MathHub (and our other services)

[kohlhase]

We are serving our MathHub content with MathJax for non-MathML browsers. But MathJax has shut down their content delivery network. See http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html, so we have to adapt. This may affect other parts of our systems as well.

[kohlhase]

We should do this soon, since all the MathML we serve is unreadable in e.g. Chrome.

You are probably aware, but will mention this anyways: This will break most (if not all) JOBAD scripts relying on MathML structure.

As for a CDN, the Getting Started page on MathJax recommends the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" async
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.0/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML">
</script>

which already gives us a CDN.

I am aware, but these things only work in MathML-aware browsers anyway. For the rest we can (with MathJax at least show the MathML. As far as I can remember, MathJax is not called on the browsers that have MathML support (e.g. Firefox). So it does not break anything that is not already more broken before.

I am not sure what we want to do here in the general case.

There also is a JOBAD module around that loads MathJax whenever it is needed and only then. We should just be able to enable that (if I can find it).

Ah, interesting, maybe we should see that we align these.

I am not sure this still applies, moving.

This no longer applies, closing
