MathJax.tex2mmlPromise in pageReady()

[Alex Jordan]

At this sample page:

https://spot.pcc.edu/~ajordan/temp/SA/section-mathematics.html

I have taken PreTeXt's sample article and I'm trying to adjust it to load math macros in a different way than what PreTeXt has always done (which is to load them inside math delimiters somewhere early in the page). There's a lot going on in this page for all that PreTeXt does, and the only part I have modified is that I've inserted lines 93-107:

MathJax.tex2mmlPromise(String.raw`

...a bunch of tex commands defining macros...

`);

I'm getting an error in the console:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: l.item.renderMath is not a function

and the page is clearly not succeeding to load the macros being defined here. This is with MathJax3. But also PreTeXt has a flag to try using MathJax4, and when I try that with the same changes, I get a similar error, just with a different name on some indexed variable:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: i.item.renderMath is not a function

Is it easy to see what I'm doing wrong here?

Alex:

Sorry to have left this so long.  I had forgotten about it and only now just saw it again.

In your MathJax configuration, you have specified render actions:

             "renderActions": {

                "findScript": [

                10,

                function(doc) {

                    document.querySelectorAll('script[type^="math/tex"]').forEach(function(node) {

                        var display = !!node.type.match(/; *mode=display/);

                        var math = new doc.options.MathItem(node.textContent, doc.inputJax[0], display);

                        var text = document.createTextNode('');

                        node.parentNode.replaceChild(text, node);

                        math.start = {

                            node: text,

                            delim: '',

                            n: 0

                        };

                        math.end = {

                            node: text,

                            delim: '',

                            n: 0

                        };

                        doc.math.push(math);

                    });

                },

                ""

                ]

            }

Change the empty ring before the close square bracket to () => {} instead and I think that will take care of it.

Thanks Davide, I've got it working! Actually I now believe that in several earlier stages of our discussion about this (including off-list) it would have been working. But I was testing with a block of code to run at startup that happened to include `\require{cancel}` and `require{extpfeil}`. As things were not working and I tried to minimize the situation, once I removed those from the startup code, it all started working. Should I not be surprised about this? Using `\require{...}` does special things, is that right?
