MathJax allows the display of equations throughout your Mahara installation.
The default configuration uses the latest stable version on the MathJax Content Distribution Network (CDN). http and https protocols may be used as appopriate.
Alternatively, $cfg->mathjaxpath may use a local server installation of MathJax. See the documentation for more information.
The default includes a commonly used configuration allowing input of MathML, AsciiMath, TeX or LaTeX and processing to MathML or HTML-CSS.
Additional MathJax configuration can be added to $cfg->mathjaxconfig. The default MathJax configuration should be appropriate for most users, but MathJax is highly configurable and any of the standard MathJax configuration options can be added here.
By default, the mhchem extension which adds the \ce macro for chemical formulae is included. See the documentation for more information.
