Local fallback for MathJax CDN

[simon.woodhead]

Hi all,

I have seen this trick used for loading jQuery from a CDN with local fallback and thought it might be useful for my MathJax pages. I really didn't want to include all the image fonts locally so I decided I would use the CDN with a local fallback which didn't support image fonts. 

<!-- MathJax: Fall back to local if CDN offline but local image fonts are not supported (saves >100MB) -->

<script src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>

<script>window.MathJax || document.write('<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">MathJax.Hub.Config({"HTML-CSS":{imageFont:null}});<\/script><script src="<<PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_MATHJAX>>MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML-full"><\/script>')</script>

The CDN seems to be down just at the moment which is what prompted me to share this. I have not yet updated to Version 2.0, this code definitely worked on Version 1.1. If it is no longer correct please let me know.

Regards,

Simon

Thanks for sharing this, Simon.

There's a temporary workaround to use http://s3.amazonaws.com/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js instead of the usual CDN.
