What's New in MathJax v2.6
|
|
|
**************************
|
|
|
|
|
|
MathJax v2.6 includes a number of new features, as well a more than 30 important bug fixes. The following are some of the highlights.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Improved CommonHTML output.* The CommonHTML output now provides the same layout quality and MathML support as the HTML-CSS and SVG output. It is on average 40% faster than the other outputs and the markup it produces are identical on all browsers and thus can also be pre-generated on the server via MathJax-node. The fast preview mechanism introduced in v2.5 continues to develop as a separate output as :ref:`PreviewHTML <_configure-PreviewHTML>` and the :ref:`fast-preview <_configure-fast-preview>` extension.
|
|
|
* *Accessibility improvements.* We thank the AT community for their guidance, support, and feedback in our efforts towards making MathJax completely accessible to all users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Screenreader compatibility.* The new ``AssistiveMML`` extension enables compatibility with most MathML-capable screenreaders by inserting visually-hidden MathML alongside MathJax's visual output. See `some link`_ for details on the expected behavior as well as background on the limitations due to lack of web standards and browser/OS technology.
|
|
|
* *Accesssible UI.* We have improved the accessibility of the MathJax menu to enable assistive technology users to easily use access its features.
|
|
|
* *Deprecated Feature: MMLorHTML extension.* We have deprecated the ``MMLorHTML`` extension. For a detailed guide on configuring MathJax to choose different outputs on different browsers, please see `some page `_
|
|
|
* *Semi-slim MathJax repository for bower*. You can now use ``bower install components/MathJax`` for a clean fork without PNG fonts. Thanks to `@minrk https://github.com/minrk`__ from the IPython/Jupyter team and `components https://github.com/components`__!
