The options below control the operation of the TeX input processor
that is run when you include "input/TeX"
in the jax array of
your configuration. They are listed with their default values. To
set any of these options, include a TeX
section in your
:meth:`MathJax.Hub.Config()` call. For example
MathJax.Hub.Config({
TeX: {
Macros: {
RR: '{\\bf R}',
bold: ['{\\bf #1}', 1]
}
}
});
would set the Macros
configuration option to cause two new macros
to be defined within the TeX input processor.
.. describe:: TagSide: "right" This specifies the side on which ``\tag{}`` macros will place the tags. Set it to ``"left"`` to place the tags on the left-hand side.
.. describe:: TagIndent: ".8em" This is the amount of indentation (from the right or left) for the tags produced by the ``\tag{}`` macro.
.. describe:: MultLineWidth: "85%" The width to use for the `multline` environment that is part of the ``AMSmath`` extension. This width gives room for tags at either side of the equation, but if you are displaying mathematics in a small area or a thin column of text, you might need to change the value to leave sufficient margin for tags.
.. describe:: Macros: {} This lists macros to define before the TeX input processor begins. These are name:value pairs where the `name` gives the name of the TeX macro to be defined, and `value` gives the replacement text for the macro. The `value` can be an array of the form `[value,n]`, where `value` is the replacement text and `n` is the number of parameters for the macro. Note that since the `value` is a javascript string, backslashes in the replacement text must be doubled to prevent them from acting as javascript escape characters. For example, .. code-block:: javascript Macros: { RR: '{\\bf R}', bold: ['{\\bf #1}', 1] } would ask the TeX processor to define two new macros: ``\RR``, which produces a bold-face "R", and ``\bold{...}``, which takes one parameter and sets it in the bold-face font.
.. describe:: MAXMACROS: 10000 Because a definition of the form ``\def\x{\x} \x`` would cause MathJax to loop infinitely, the `MAXMACROS` constant will limit the number of macro substitutions allowed in any expression processed by MathJax.
.. describe:: MAXBUFFER: 5*1024 Because a definition of the form ``\def\x{\x aaa} \x`` would loop infinitely, and at the same time stack up lots of a's in MathJax's equation buffer, the `MAXBUFFER` constant is used to limit the size of the string being processed by MathJax. It is set to 5KB, which should be sufficient for any reasonable equation.
