Upgrade to MathJax 3 #105

Open strogonoff opened 4 years ago

strogonoff commented 4 years ago

There doesn’t seem to be a ready-made React adapter for MathJax 3. We might write our own.

Go for it!

strogonoff commented 4 years ago

Ah… MathJax 3 appears to not support Asciimath fully yet. @ronaldtse could you remind the big picture around math input? We want to allow entering Asciimath, or we prefer MathML?

strogonoff commented 4 years ago

Or maybe TeX/LaTeX math?

ronaldtse commented 4 years ago

We should allow entering MathML, AsciiMath and Latex math.

If we have a way to do Asciimath -> MathML conversion, we can use MathJax 3 to display math.

Otherwise in meantime it might be best to stick to MathJax 2 until they implement that conversion in 3 out of the box.

Generally as far as math entry goes we could offer pluggable modes via adapters: MathType (for those with license), TeX and Asciimath.

In case of MathType I suppose we would store MathML directly. In case of Asciimath or TeX I guess we must store respective Asciimath and TeX markup and convert at build time.

Unfortunately this means if user chooses one mode switching to another would require some migration logic.
