Matjhax

[Gilles Dubois]

This program  initially written for installed python with vpython package    again works under Trinket but only with WASM specification.

I hope that someday we will know why, but it isn't the subject here.

In my title I wanted to write simple math expressions such as 

with LaTex code :

\left[ \overrightarrow{OM},\overrightarrow{ON},\overrightarrow{OP} \right]

I know from the doc that this is in theory possible.

With installed python I wasn't successful, and I asked Grok why? The answer was that it works only with web vpython which was recommended.

But my attempts with web vpython, see above, failed with message that name 

MathJax was unknown. So...

If anyone can explain or help.

Thanks :

[Gilles Dubois]

Title should be MathJax, of course.

Hi Gilles,

The WASM version you’re using is a very early/beta implementation and not all features are available yet. I do thank you for the reports!

I would appreciate it if you’d report issues with the WASM implementation here:

https://github.com/vpython/wmWVPRunner/issues

I’m preparing an update and it would be good to get your issues included.

thank you!
