Attention

Version 3 is now the current version of MathJax. This document is for version 2.

The mml2jax Preprocessor

The options below control the operation of the mml2jax preprocessor that is run when you include "mml2jax.js" in the extensions array of your configuration. They are listed with their default values. To set any of these options, include a mml2jax section in your MathJax.Hub.Config() call. For example

MathJax.Hub.Config({
  mml2jax: {
    preview: "mathml"
  }
});

would set the preview parameter to "mathml".

preview: "mathml"

This controls whether mml2jax inserts MathJax_Preview spans to make a preview available, and what preview to use, when it locates mathematics on the page. Possible values are: "mathml", "alttext", , "altimg", "none", or an HTML snippet.

The default is "mathml", in which case MathJax keeps the content of the <math> tag as the preview (until it is processed by MathJax). Set to "alttext", to use the <math> tag’s alttext attribute as the preview, if the tag has one. Set to "altimg" to use an image described by the altimg* attributes of the <math> element. Set to "none" to prevent the previews from being inserted (the math will simply disappear until it is typeset). Set to an array containing the description of an HTML snippet in order to use the same preview for all equations on the page (e.g., you could have it say "[math]" or load an image).

Examples:

preview: ["[math]"],     //  insert the text "[math]" as the preview

preview: [["img",{src: "/images/mypic.jpg"}]],  // insert an image as the preview

See the description of HTML snippets for details on how to represent HTML code in this way.
