Getting started about mathjax-node HOT 5 CLOSED

There are no examples in /bin that do provide this out of the box. Theoretically, page2svg could help but I don't know how well jsdom would handle an SVG (they are not focused on XML support).

Also, it's not straight forward to have MathJax work inside an SVG (cf. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15962325/mathjax-inside-svg). You could follow the idea from the second answer there: write your own wrapper that loops through the TeX fragments, runs tex2svg, and inserts the results into the larger SVG.

(FYI, check out #70 for Windows related issues.)

Thanks, but if MathJax-node doesn't do this, what does it do? Could you provide a couple of examples, with command lines using the sample files?

MathJax-node provides APIs to call MathJax from node.js programs. This repository also contains example programs (in /bin) of using those APIs.

Could you provide a couple of examples, with command lines using the sample files?

Try runnning an example from bin or just read them.

• from tex2svg: "Usage: tex2svg [options] 'math' > file.svg"
• from page2svg: "Usage: page2svg [options] < input.html > output.html"

In other words, tex2svg converts a TeX string into an SVG, page2svg processes an HTML document, replacing mathematics with svg renderings. See each example for the specific options.

Perhaps you can explain what you're after in more detail. Also, IIUC the develop branch is not yet working on Windows as two PRs are not yet incorporated.

Thank you. I'm sure I will understand a little better when I have one or two of these simple examples running and can see how they work. Hopefully the fixes for Windows will be incorporated soon too. However I would suggest updating the readme file with at least one complete "getting started" example that can be run after installation to generate some sort of trivial output. IIUC this should work?:
node tex2svg 'x^2+y^2=r^2' > circle.svg

Thanks again.

Yes, your example should work. And the develop branch should work in Windows except for PNG generation.
