This page documents an experiment to [[Improve loading behavior]]: building a single-file MathJax version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Word of caution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Strictly speaking, it is neither possible nor desirable to build a single-file version of MathJax. Not possible, because MathJax is not just JavaScript (but also fonts and images). Not desirable because it extremely unlikely that the reader will need to load *all* of MathJax -- all inputs, all outputs, all extensions, all fonts in all formats, all locales etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That being said, there are situations where a developer might prefer a single file built (e.g. on mobile apps where the developer has tight control over the reader's options and wants to consciously limit them).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [MathJax-dev](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-dev) repository contains the combiner for combined configuration files. We will build on it so make sure you have a working copy on your system.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Single-file built for MathML input, SVG output using MathJax TeX fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are **three problems** we'll have to deal with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, the combiner only builds configuration files, i.e., we'd have at least 2 files to load. We need to merge the combined configuration file with `MathJax.js` (note: it cannot be simply appended).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, the combined configuration combiner does not check the order in which MathJax components are combined. However, certain components need to load before others. We need to put them in the correct order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Third, the SVG font data files are not set up to be loaded out of sequence. We need to fix them after packing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### mathjax-dev/combiner/lists
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following list file for the combiner includes everything needed for MML input, SVG output, with Mathjax TeX fonts as well as the extensions for ContentMathML and webfonts matching; the components are of course listed in the right order.

Save this as a `lis` file in `MathJax-dev/combiner/lists/` and run the combiner. The resulting configuration file should be about 1.2MB.

|
#### Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SVG font file order. You need to load the Main.js file first, and then the others. For SVG you should NOT load Main.js for MathJax_Main-Regular or MathJax_Math-Italic, as these are already in the fontdata.js file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Fixing SVG font data files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Background
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SVG font data files are not set up to be loaded out of sequence. The creation of the `SVG.FONTDATA` value is done inside a signal handler that isn't triggered immediately, but the adding of data to `SVG.FONTDATA` by the font data files is done immediately (since they usually aren't loaded until much later, after SVG.FONTDATA is ready). So the information about the font information is being overwritten when `SVG` sets up `FONTDATA` later on. So the SVG jax thinks it needs to load the data, so it tries to, but the file is already loaded, so it doesn't load it again, so SVG thinks it needs to load it, and tries to ... and so on. Infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Solution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One solution is to put
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MathJax.Hub.Register.StartupHook("SVG Jax Ready",function () {
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
before the first font data file -- it starts with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MathJax.Hub.Insert(MathJax.OutputJax.SVG.FONTDATA.FONTS.MathJax_Main
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and put
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
just before the `MathJax.Ajax.loadComplete` call at the bottom of the file. This will cause the action of these files to be postponed until after the SVG jax has set up the `FONTDATA`. Note that these edits are in the resulting configuration file, not the combiner list file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(The combiner doesn't have a means of inserting commands like this automatically (perhaps it should).)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Merging the combined configuration file with `MathJax.js`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Problem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The combined configuration file cannot be simply appended to `MathJax.js`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Solution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insert the content of the combined configuration file after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HUB.Browser.Select(MathJax.Message.browsers);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and before
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (BASE.AuthorConfig && typeof BASE.AuthorConfig.AuthorInit === "function") {BASE.AuthorConfig.AuthorInit()}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in `MathJax.js`. |
