如果从本地js文件加载或者包含源代码，则MathJax无法正常工作

Question

I am testing the MathJax javascript library in a local HTML file. It works and correctly renders math formulas if I include:

script type='text/javascript' src='http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML'

in the HTML file, but it doesn't work if I include instead:

script type="text/javascript" src="/path_to/mathjax.js"

or even if I put the entire javascript source code. What is the reason? I need to load mathjax.js from local js file into a local HTML file, so the first way doesn't help me. (EDIT- I see an error: failed to load /extensions/MathZoom.js )

Answer 1

I had to load the entire MathJax distribution (17 Mb zip file), expand it and put the right configuration string in the HTML file. The final form is: script type='text/javascript' src='/path_to/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML,local/local'

Answer 2

This may occur due to two reasons

Still you are getting the error look into second reason.

2. eg:

<script type ="text/javascript" src="pathto\mathjax.js">

You have typed an incorrect filename. Correct name of file is MathJax.js.Given below is the correct way.

<script type ="text/javascript" src="pathto\MathJax.js">

MathJax.js is the name of the file in the extracted folder(unless modified)

If all of this is not working,then link to the script in this way:

<script type="text/javascript" src="Pathto\MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">

The reason that your script is not working is you are not including:

'?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML'
