MathJax can't handle a \renewcommand with too many replacements?

[Matt Wechter]

Using LaTeX commands in docinfo, I'm trying to replace \lim with \displaystyle\lim

When I build to html, I get the error
MathJax maximum macro substitution count exceeded; is here a recursive macro call?

for every appearance of that command.  Are these just natural limitations in Mathjax when using \renewcommand ?

The error message is acurate, your definition of "\lim"
has "\lim" in it.

So when Mathjax expands \lim, it sees another \lim and expandes that,
etc etc etc.

Oh, that's wild.  Thanks for figuring it out.
