The discussion revolves around the documentation and functionality of MathJax within the Physics Forums (PF) platform, specifically focusing on the supported LaTeX commands and potential discrepancies in their implementation. Participants explore links to the latest documentation and discuss the limitations of MathJax in PF.
Participants generally agree on the need for updated links to MathJax documentation, but there is uncertainty regarding which specific commands are supported in the PF version, and no consensus is reached on a definitive list of commands.
There are limitations regarding access to auxiliary files and the specific subset of LaTeX commands that work within PF, which remains unresolved.
For MathJax documentation, see the https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/mathjax.html. In particular, you can find a complete list of LaTeX commands supported by MathJax https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#supported-latex-commands
and an additional sentence with your linkLaTeX is the standard language used by mathematicians, physicists, etc. for typesetting mathematical expressions. PF uses https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/mathjax.html, a Javascript-based engine, to process LaTeX code in posts and render it in the way you would see it in a textbook.
Yes.BvU said:I think it's https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/macros/index.html now
Note the comment on that page "If the package name is in italics, then the package is not autoloaded by the autoload extension." Like most sites that use MathJax I believe PF only supports autoloaded packages so the list you seek is the list excluding rows with italics in the second column.BvU said:However, there is far too much in there that doesn't work in the PF version, so maybe there is another link for our subset ?
