Attention
Version 3 is now the current version of MathJax. This document is for version 1.
The MathJax API¶
The following links document the various components that make up
MathJax. These are implemented as JavaScript objects contained within
the single global variable, MathJax
. Although JavaScript includes
an objects with some inheritance capabilities, they do not constitute
a full object-oriented programming model, so MathJax implements
its own object library. This means there is an ambiguity when we
speak of an “object”, as it could be either a native JavaScript
object, or a MathJax object. We will use Object (capitalized) or
MathJax.Object for, when the distinction is important.
