Attention
Version 3 is now the current version of MathJax. This document is for version 2.
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 object system 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. When the distinction is
important, we will use Object (capitalized) or MathJax.Object for
the latter; the javascript object will always be listed in lower
case.
