Summary
MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine for LaTeX, MathML, and AsciiMath notations that works in all modern browsers. It will allow you to write and display mathematical notation on web browsers. MathJax can generate output in several formats, including HTML with CSS styling, or scalable vector graphics (SVG). For more information about MathJax, you can find in the following page.
Accessing MathJax
There are two options on how to access MathJax configurations:
...
An alternative option is to select Latex Configurations from the side Navigation bar in the Confluence Administrator section.
...
Configurations
Default configurations
After the Latex add-on will be installed, MathJax configurations will have default pre-configured settings. These will allow you to use MathJax engine without additional configurations to render the macros.
...
If needed the default MathJax settings can be changed by configuring one of the following options:
Local Network
...
The Local Network option requires the actual MathJax JS file to be located on the local server. Then in the MathJax Path field requires a full path to the stored JS file on the local network. Please note the following two points:
...
E.g. if Confluence instance is configured to be accessed via HTTPS protocol then the according to local network needs to configured to use the same protocol, otherwise, it will not allow to saving the local network URL path.
Internet (CDN)
...
The Internet option will give the ability to choose one of the provided CDN’s and corresponding version. Once the CDN and version are selected and saved; below in the table appears full generated URL pointing to the external JS file, which will be accessed during displaying the macro in the Space page.
Local File
...
Local file option gives the ability to upload the actual MathJax JS file and to be stored under Confluence-home directory > shared-home > latex-mathjax. It will create and store the JS file content in the file named ppl-mathjax.js. Once the file is uploaded successfully; the info of that file will appear in the table indicating the original file name, size, uploaded date and it will give the ability to delete the file.
