The support for #MathML in browser is often poor. The fact that instead of improving it the developers seem to be instead pressuring the standard bodies to impoverish the language only makes this worse.

(I am aware of #MathJax. We shouldn't need a heavy-duty #JavaScript library to solve typesetting problems. That's exactly what browser engines are there fore.)

I weep for the status of scientific publishing in the modern world.

(This rant is offered by my experience looking for options to make the SPHERIC newsletter available both in PDF and in HTML form. I don't even need complex math usually,, we try to avoid it in contributions because it's hard to typeset math outside of the TeX world. But the fact that in 2026 online the only safe way seems to be to typeset everything manually or rely on huge JavaScript libraries is a little depressing.)

数式を表示するためのコードをjavascript.jsに移した
#Cocoon #Gemini #Javascript #MathJax #WordPress #数式

　WordPressで数式を表示するためにMathJaxを使っているが、そのためのコードをこれまではそれぞれの投稿ページにカスタムHTMLやカスタムJavaScriptを使って記載していた。今回、使っているテーマCocoonに子テーマ用のjavascript.jsがあって、テーマファイルエディターから編集できることを知ったので、利用することにした。javascript.jsを見ると次のように書いてあった。

//ここに追加したいJavaScript、jQueryを記入してください。
//このJavaScriptファイルは、親テーマのJavaScriptファイルのあとに呼び出されます。

This is nice: With https://phanpy.social, one can now display mathematical formulas that were written with the #MathJax extension of https://mathstodon.xyz. So it is now possible for people with accounts on other servers to read complex mathematics correctly.

One can also enter mathematical formulas on Phanpy, but the automatic display of the incomplete formula while it is typed is of course not (yet?) implemented.
\[ \sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac1{n^3} \neq \frac{p}{q} \]

How to use #LaTex or better to say #Mathjax within #H5P ?

Here is a resource to help you using some LaTex in your H5P contents, independently if you teach in a #STEM field or not, you might want to have a look at this interactive book to find some "tricks" you could use to improve your interactives 😉

Have fun!

Fun with #CSS.

Using mathjax in my blog, some formulas are vertically scrollable. It seems the height is computed wrongly. May be related to exponents in the top line, but I have no clue and gut to dig deeper.

A hack-fix is a rule in my own style sheet for the selector with "padding: 5px 0;". Works. But don't leave without explanation! I use

--comment: "Fix scroll on multiline formulas with padding.";

and can even see it in Firefox developer tools 🙂 .

Was ich heute gelernt habe:

Mit #MathJax Formeln in Webseiten einbauen. Mich wurmt es als alter Purist zwar ein wenig, dass man dafür JavaScript braucht - aber elegant sieht's schon aus!
