An option for rendering math as image? #1136

Open kindlychung opened 9 years ago

A global option allowing the reader to switch the rendering between html+css and rasterized image will be very welcome.

A google search of "copy mathjax into word" shows 33,800 results, people are looking for ways to do this. Adding an option to render equations as images will make this extremely easy.

There are no plans for this since you can already generate SVGs from MathJax. If anybody wants to build an extension, it would fit on our third party extension repository. For server-side conversion, there's https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-node

An image would be the wrong way to go about -- you can use MathML instead, see https://youtu.be/VBt0Qeq5GWw for an old tutorial.

Yeah, that works but it requires you to copy and paste the MathML codes one by one.
