Markup

jsMath offers more variants for marking your content, these are controllable by parameters on the action. According to defaults, putting the formula between the markers \( and \) works out of the box:

\( \textstyle \sqrt{x+2}\quad \underline 4\quad \overline{x+y}\quad x^{\underline n}\quad x^{\overline{m+n}} \quad \sqrt{x^2+\sqrt{\alpha}} \)

The markers only become active in the areas that you select with KSS.

Dynamic loading

jsMath has a mechanism for loading its large javascript dynamically, on demand. The package uses this mechanism combined with custom code that helps dynamic loading integrate with KSS.

The following javascript files:

/++resource++jsmath/jsMath.js
/++resource++jsmath/plugins/tex2math.js

will be loaded dynamically, if you selected any conversion with KSS in your page. This will cause a little delay before the first conversion takes place but makes sure that the large javascript is only loaded when needed. The works seamlessly in practice, because the loading and the conversion takes place asynchronously and it does not block access to the page from the browser.

However, it is also possible to include these resources statically in the page header, as well. In this case the resources will be used at once and will not be loaded dynamically. You may choose this method, if you find it increases overall performance on your site.

Browser compatibility

jsMath is famous for working on all browsers including all the ones that are supported by KSS. However if you find that the plugin fails in your browser, please report the bug so that we can attempt to fix it.

Caveats

Since the conversion happens on client side, you will not be able to use the same mechanism to convert your pages to PDF, on the server side.
