Personal pain point: Math seems to be a growing topic on the web and tools like MathJax are a popular tool for talking about Math. But (most? all?) RSS readers won't render MathJax. Does anyone have a simple and effective way to handle display issues like that?
- rbinv 6y agoThat won't work unless you embed scripts into the RSS and run those (which kind of defeats the point of "really simple syndication" and would lead to JS-heavy monstrosities).
- postit 6y agoThere's a bookmarklet that renders Tex/LaTeX, MathML and AsciiMathML notation on pages dynamically using the MathJax. I use it mainly with feedbin. It works most of the time https://www.checkmyworking.com/misc/mathjax-bookmarklet/ https://www.checkmyworking.com/misc/mathjax-bookmarklet/
- chuckgreenman 6y agoIsn't there a way to default back to a rendered image if MathJax isn't supported?
- vehemenz 6y agoYou could CDATA a MathJax-produced SVG, but I don't know how well that would be supported in RSS readers. I doubt accessibility extensions would work correctly either.
