[enhancement] external Mathjax enviroment

Open Netsaver opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, it seems not possible to rely on external (local) Mathjax installation. It could be this way configurable by the user, having Mathjax a number of directives. By the way, in the windows release I couldn't find the configuration file. Is the windows zip installation portable? Where is the configuration information stored? Thanks a lot, Netsaver, Rome - IT

@Netsaver, portability issues were already discussed in issue #243, look like it is a popular feature on Windows installation. Can we switch to use settings file instead of registry on windows, what do you think, @cloose? It will help a lot with portability and manual configuration (some people do like to tweak ini files, I suppose).

Yeah, I think would be much better having portable settings (I usually work on different platforms). One of these settings could be the local/path/to/mathjax/installation. Indeed I use separators, fonts, processing instructions, etc. different from the default ones. Another very useful feature would be a user file with local (custom) entities for replacement in the rendered text. But maybe this is another issue... ;-) Paul Netsaver, Rome, IT

@dbelyaev I have not made up my mind regarding a general switch to ini configuration files on Windows.

What would be acceptable is a command line option to activate the ini format using QSettings::setDefaultFormat(QSettings::IniFormat). I will take a look if I have time again.

I sometimes work on an internet-less environment, so an option for a local Mathjax file would be nice :D
