MathJax CDN shutting down effective April 30

[Joe Heafner]

GlowScript uses MathJax to render LaTeX content and according to this blog post

https://www.mathjax.org/cdn-shutting-down/

some things will change at the end of this month. I don’t know if or how much this will affect GlowScript.

I can’t seem to get LaTeX content in a scene.caption to render today for some reason.

Thanks much, Joe. I've changed GlowScript to reference the new MathJax site.

The following demo program does display LaTeX in the caption:

Excellent. I got my examples working by including the line that explicitly calls the typesetting action.

(No LaTeX in that last one; it’s just cool. Here’s today’s blog post https://tensortime.wordpress.com/2017/04/17/visualizing-eigenvectors-with-glowscript/ that references the program.)
