Chemical equations with mhchem

[chicolucio]

I could not render chemical equations like

\ce{H2O -> H2 + 1/2O2}

It is a supported command according to MathJax docs. The command is from the mhchem package.

Hi @chicolucio,

The mhchem extension seems to autoload fine on MathJax. Here is a screenshot:

Are you using the mathematics delimiters to delimit the chemical equation? MathJax requires them to recognize the parts that it needs to render.

My bad... I tested math equations inside align environments and they rendered. The only thing that I put outside math environments was the chemical equation 🤦‍♂️ You are right, it works perfectly. Thanks!
