The MathJax variable¶
MathJax has a single global variable, MathJax, in which all its
data, and the data for loaded components, are stored. The MathJax
variable is a nested structure, with its top-level properties being
objects themselves.
Main MathJax Components¶
-
MathJax.Hub Contains the MathJax hub code and variables, including the startup code, the onload handler, the browser data, and so forth.
-
MathJax.Ajax Contains the code for loading external modules and creating stylesheets. Most of the code that causes MathJax to operate asynchronously is handled here.
-
MathJax.Message Contains the code to handle the intermittent message window that periodically appears in the lower left-hand corner of the window.
-
MathJax.HTML Contains support code for creating HTML elements dynamically from descriptions stored in JavaScript objects.
-
MathJax.CallBack Contains the code for managing MathJax callbacks, queues and signals.
-
MathJax.Extension Initially empty, this is where extensions can load their code. For example, the tex2jax preprocessor creates
MathJax.Extension.tex2jaxfor its code and variables.
-
MathJax.Menu Initially null, this is where the MathJax contextual menu is stored, when
extensions/MathMenu.jsis loaded.
-
MathJax.Object Contains the code for the MathJax object-oriented programming model.
-
MathJax.InputJax The base class for all input jax objects. Subclasses for specific input jax are created as sub-objects of
MathJax.InputJax. For example, the TeX input jax loads itself asMathJax.InputJax.TeX.
-
MathJax.OutputJax The base class for all output jax objects. Subclasses for specific output jax are created as sub-objects of
MathJax.OutputJax. For example, the HTML-CSS output jax loads itself asMathJax.OutputJax["HTML-CSS"].
-
MathJax.ElementJax The base class for all element jax objects. Subclasses for specific element jax are created as sub-objects of
MathJax.ElementJax. For example, the mml element jax loads itself asMathJax.ElementJax.mml.
Properties¶
-
MathJax.version The version number of the MathJax library as a whole.
-
MathJax.fileversion The version number of the
MathJax.jsfile specifically.
-
MathJax.isReady This is set to
truewhen MathJax is set up and ready to perform typesetting actions (and isnullotherwise).
