These use the +reStructuredText math :rst:dir:`directive ` and :rst:role:`role `. + +:mod:`sphinx.ext.imgmath` -- Render math as images +-------------------------------------------------- + +.. module:: sphinx.ext.imgmath + :synopsis: Render math as PNG or SVG images. + +.. versionadded:: 1.4 + +This extension renders math via LaTeX and dvipng_ or dvisvgm_ into PNG or SVG +images. This of course means that the computer where the docs are built must +have both programs available. + +There are various configuration values you can set to influence how the images +are built: + +.. confval:: imgmath_image_format + + The output image format. The default is ``'png'``. It should be either + ``'png'`` or ``'svg'``. The image is produced by first executing ``latex`` + on the TeX mathematical mark-up then (depending on the requested format) + either `dvipng`_ or `dvisvgm`_. + +.. confval:: imgmath_use_preview + + ``dvipng`` and ``dvisvgm`` both have the ability to collect from LaTeX the + "depth" of the rendered math: an inline image should use this "depth" in a + ``vertical-align`` style to get correctly aligned with surrounding text. + + This mechanism requires the `LaTeX preview package`_ (available as + ``preview-latex-style`` on Ubuntu xenial). Therefore, the default for this + option is ``False`` but it is strongly recommended to set it to ``True``. + + .. versionchanged:: 2.2 + + This option can be used with the ``'svg'`` :confval:`imgmath_image_format`. + +.. confval:: imgmath_add_tooltips + + Default: ``True``. If false, do not add the LaTeX code as an "alt" attribute + for math images. + +.. confval:: imgmath_font_size + + The font size (in ``pt``) of the displayed math. The default value is + ``12``. It must be a positive integer. + +.. confval:: imgmath_latex + + The command name with which to invoke LaTeX. The default is ``'latex'``; you + may need to set this to a full path if ``latex`` is not in the executable + search path. + + Since this setting is not portable from system to system, it is normally not + useful to set it in ``conf.py``; rather, giving it on the + :program:`sphinx-build` command line via the :option:`-D ` + option should be preferable, like this:: + + sphinx-build -b html -D imgmath_latex=C:\tex\latex.exe . _build/html + + This value should only contain the path to the latex executable, not further + arguments; use :confval:`imgmath_latex_args` for that purpose. + + .. hint:: + + To use `OpenType Math fonts`__ with ``unicode-math``, via a custom + :confval:`imgmath_latex_preamble`, you can set :confval:`imgmath_latex` + to ``'dvilualatex'``, but must then set :confval:`imgmath_image_format` + to ``'svg'``. Note: this has only been tested with ``dvisvgm 3.0.3``. + It significantly increases image production duration compared to using + standard ``'latex'`` with traditional TeX math fonts. + + __ https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425098/which-opentype-math-fonts-are-available + + + .. hint:: + + Some fancy LaTeX mark-up (an example was reported which used TikZ to add + various decorations to the equation) require multiple runs of the LaTeX + executable. To handle this, set this configuration setting to + ``'latexmk'`` (or a full path to it) as this Perl script reliably + chooses dynamically how many latex runs are needed. + + .. versionchanged:: 6.2.0 + + Using ``'xelatex'`` (or a full path to it) is now supported. But you + must then add ``'-no-pdf'`` to the :confval:`imgmath_latex_args` list of + the command options. The ``'svg'`` :confval:`imgmath_image_format` is + required. Also, you may need the ``dvisvgm`` binary to be relatively + recent (testing was done only with its ``3.0.3`` release). + + .. note:: + + Regarding the previous note, it is currently not supported to use + ``latexmk`` with option ``-xelatex``. + +.. confval:: imgmath_latex_args + + Additional arguments to give to latex, as a list. The default is an empty + list. + +.. confval:: imgmath_latex_preamble + + Additional LaTeX code to put into the preamble of the LaTeX files used to + translate the math snippets. This is left empty by default. Use it + e.g. to add packages which modify the fonts used for math, such as + ``'\\usepackage{newtxsf}'`` for sans-serif fonts, or + ``'\\usepackage{fouriernc}'`` for serif fonts. Indeed, the default LaTeX + math fonts have rather thin glyphs which (in HTML output) often do not + match well with the font for text. + +.. confval:: imgmath_dvipng + + The command name to invoke ``dvipng``. The default is + ``'dvipng'``; you may need to set this to a full path if ``dvipng`` is not in + the executable search path. This option is only used when + ``imgmath_image_format`` is set to ``'png'``. + +.. confval:: imgmath_dvipng_args + + Additional arguments to give to dvipng, as a list. The default value is + ``['-gamma', '1.5', '-D', '110', '-bg', 'Transparent']`` which makes the + image a bit darker and larger then it is by default (this compensates + somewhat for the thinness of default LaTeX math fonts), and produces PNGs with a + transparent background. This option is used only when + ``imgmath_image_format`` is ``'png'``. + +.. confval:: imgmath_dvisvgm + + The command name to invoke ``dvisvgm``. The default is + ``'dvisvgm'``; you may need to set this to a full path if ``dvisvgm`` is not + in the executable search path. This option is only used when + ``imgmath_image_format`` is ``'svg'``. + +.. confval:: imgmath_dvisvgm_args + + Additional arguments to give to dvisvgm, as a list. The default value is + ``['--no-fonts']``, which means that ``dvisvgm`` will render glyphs as path + elements (cf the `dvisvgm FAQ`_). This option is used only when + ``imgmath_image_format`` is ``'svg'``. + +.. confval:: imgmath_embed + + Default: ``False``. If true, encode LaTeX output images within HTML files + (base64 encoded) and do not save separate png/svg files to disk. + + .. versionadded:: 5.2 + +:mod:`sphinx.ext.mathjax` -- Render math via JavaScript +------------------------------------------------------- + +.. module:: sphinx.ext.mathjax + :synopsis: Render math using JavaScript via MathJax. + +.. warning:: + Version 4.0 changes the version of MathJax used to version 3. You may need to + override ``mathjax_path`` to + ``https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@2/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML`` + or update your configuration options for version 3 + (see :confval:`mathjax3_config`). + +.. versionadded:: 1.1 + +This extension puts math as-is into the HTML files. The JavaScript package +MathJax_ is then loaded and transforms the LaTeX markup to readable math live in +the browser. + +Because MathJax (and the necessary fonts) is very large, it is not included in +Sphinx but is set to automatically include it from a third-party site. + +.. attention:: + + You should use the math :rst:dir:`directive ` and + :rst:role:`role `, not the native MathJax ``$$``, ``\(``, etc. + + +.. confval:: mathjax_path + + The path to the JavaScript file to include in the HTML files in order to load + MathJax. + + The default is the ``https://`` URL that loads the JS files from the + `jsdelivr`__ Content Delivery Network. See the `MathJax Getting Started + page`__ for details. If you want MathJax to be available offline or + without including resources from a third-party site, you have to + download it and set this value to a different path. + + __ https://www.jsdelivr.com/ + + __ https://www.mathjax.org/#gettingstarted + + The path can be absolute or relative; if it is relative, it is relative to + the ``_static`` directory of the built docs. + + For example, if you put MathJax into the static path of the Sphinx docs, this + value would be ``MathJax/MathJax.js``. If you host more than one Sphinx + documentation set on one server, it is advisable to install MathJax in a + shared location. + + You can also give a full ``https://`` URL different from the CDN URL. + +.. confval:: mathjax_options + + The options to script tag for mathjax. For example, you can set integrity + option with following setting:: + + mathjax_options = { + 'integrity': 'sha384-......', + } + + The default is empty (``{}``). + + .. versionadded:: 1.8 + + .. versionchanged:: 4.4.1 + + Allow to change the loading method (async or defer) of MathJax if "async" + or "defer" key is set. + +.. confval:: mathjax3_config + + The configuration options for MathJax v3 (which is used by default). + The given dictionary is assigned to the JavaScript variable + ``window.MathJax``. + For more information, please read `Configuring MathJax`__. + + __ https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/web/configuration.html#configuration + + The default is empty (not configured). + + .. versionadded:: 4.0 + +.. confval:: mathjax2_config + + The configuration options for MathJax v2 (which can be loaded via + :confval:`mathjax_path`). + The value is used as a parameter of ``MathJax.Hub.Config()``. + For more information, please read `Using in-line configuration options`__. + + __ https://docs.mathjax.org/en/v2.7-latest/ + configuration.html#using-in-line-configuration-options + + For example:: + + mathjax2_config = { + 'extensions': ['tex2jax.js'], + 'jax': ['input/TeX', 'output/HTML-CSS'], + } + + The default is empty (not configured). + + .. versionadded:: 4.0 + + :confval:`mathjax_config` has been renamed to :confval:`mathjax2_config`. + +.. confval:: mathjax_config + + Former name of :confval:`mathjax2_config`. + + For help converting your old MathJax configuration to to the new + :confval:`mathjax3_config`, see `Converting Your v2 Configuration to v3`__. + + __ https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/web/ + configuration.html#converting-your-v2-configuration-to-v3 + + .. versionadded:: 1.8 + + .. versionchanged:: 4.0 + + This has been renamed to :confval:`mathjax2_config`. + :confval:`mathjax_config` is still supported for backwards compatibility. + +:mod:`sphinx.ext.jsmath` -- Render math via JavaScript +------------------------------------------------------ + +.. module:: sphinx.ext.jsmath + :synopsis: Render math using JavaScript via JSMath. + +This extension works just as the MathJax extension does, but uses the older +package jsMath_. It provides this config value: + +.. confval:: jsmath_path + + The path to the JavaScript file to include in the HTML files in order to load + JSMath. There is no default. + + The path can be absolute or relative; if it is relative, it is relative to + the ``_static`` directory of the built docs. + + For example, if you put JSMath into the static path of the Sphinx docs, this + value would be ``jsMath/easy/load.js``. If you host more than one + Sphinx documentation set on one server, it is advisable to install jsMath in + a shared location. + + +.. _dvipng: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/dvipng/ +.. _dvisvgm: https://dvisvgm.de/ +.. _dvisvgm FAQ: https://dvisvgm.de/FAQ +.. _MathJax: https://www.mathjax.org/ +.. _jsMath: http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsmath/ +.. _LaTeX preview package: https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html -- cgit v1.2.3
