SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the limitations of MathJax in handling text-mode macros such as itemized lists. Users are advised to utilize standard HTML tags for formatting text, as MathJax only supports math-mode macros from TeX and LaTeX. The conversation highlights alternative methods for creating itemized lists using LaTeX symbols like \cdot and \bullet for better visual representation. Overall, it emphasizes the necessity of combining HTML with MathJax for effective formatting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of HTML for text formatting
  • Familiarity with MathJax and its capabilities
  • Knowledge of LaTeX syntax for mathematical representation
  • Experience with TeX and LaTeX environments
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced MathJax configurations for enhanced formatting
  • Learn about HTML list elements for better text organization
  • Research LaTeX symbols and their applications in MathJax
  • Investigate best practices for integrating HTML and MathJax
USEFUL FOR

Web developers, educators, and anyone involved in creating mathematical content online who seeks to improve text formatting alongside mathematical expressions.

its usually this
:(
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item How
\item Now
\item Brown
\item Cow
\end{enumerate}

would be nice but don't see it

According to Mathjax:

First and foremost, the TeX input processor implements only the math-mode macros of TeX and LaTeX, not the text-mode macros. MathJax expects that you will use standard HTML tags to handle formatting the text of your page; it only handles the mathematics. So, for example, MathJax does not implement \emph or \begin{enumerate}...\end{enumerate} or other text-mode macros or environments. You must use HTML to handle such formatting tasks.
 
bummer...

\item is the perfect feature for so many math representations.

$$\text{Itemized List:} \\
\text{ }\cdot\text{Item 1} \\
\text{ }\cdot\text{Item 2} \\
\text{ }\cdot\text{Item 3}$$

Instead of \cdot you could also try \bullet (which is bolder):
$$\bullet\ \text{ Item 1} \\ \bullet\ \text{Item 2} \\ \bullet\ \text{Item 3}$$
