writing/animating maths courses with HTML/Latex with Mathjax

[acx...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to write some dynamic Maths with MathJax, there is what I obtained until now :

http://www.paris8.free.fr/SomeDynamicMathJax.html

I think it would be a good start to let teachers write there Maths course in HTML/Latex with MathJax (replacing slides and pdf in the same time)

1) don't process anything until I decided to (only Init MathJax) :

MathJax.Hub.Config({

skipStartupTypeset: true
)}; // let us process some Latex when we want

2) I process when I want some html DOM nodes :

// DOMnode = document.getElementById("someMathsDivs");
function ApplyMathjaxTo(DOMnode) {

DOMnode.beforeMathJax_innerHTML = DOMnode.innerHTML;

MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset",MathJax.Hub,DOMnode]);

}

function UnApplyMathjaxTo(DOMnode) {

DOMnode.innerHTML = DOMnode.beforeMathJax_innerHTML;

delete DOMnode.beforeMathJax_innerHTML;

}

such that is it EASY to write a maths course in HTML+Latex, THEN :

- process it enterily with MathJax

- or animate it as I want, because I'm still able to add/remove/modify any HTML or Latex 

The problem I have is where placing

MathJax.Extension.tex2jax.config.inlineMath = MathJax.Hub.config.inlineMath; // = [['$','$'],['\\(','\\)']]; 

because there is a bug : 

with 

skipStartupTypeset: true 

the 

MathJax.Hub.Config( { inlineMath : [['$','$'],['\\(','\\)']]});

is not taken in account when calling my ApplyMathjaxTo(DOMnode)function.

Sufficiently good LaTeX, e.g., formally profiled LaTeX, is the easiest way to originate the HTML + MathJax version of an article, a course "handout", or a set of slides.
