(After the fate of Google Reader, <i>should</i> we be concerned about what might happen to Blogger?) Right now, my blog isn't math-heavy enough, nor does it get enough traffic, for me to feel like transporting the whole thing to another host would be worth it. I can manage the hacks for the moment, but seeing how much y'all and others have struggled in this context makes me think change is inevitable.Joshua Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825513382152813711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30611202.post-5120116769487369722013-06-11T09:56:04.598-07:002013-06-11T09:56:04.598-07:00The last time Google changed the "under the h...The last time Google changed the "under the hood" bits of Blogger, things got all wonky. sometimes it would display, sometimes not. It never worked properly with the <i>dynamic views</i>, even before the update. <br /><br />Now, it works just fine. Rendering math is just a bit slower than a functioning MathJax-only setup would be.<br /><br />But I like having the functionality of working Sage Cells, so I don't mind a small speed tradeoff. and you don't need a cell in every post.

Maybe sticking in a second's delay before inserting the mathjax script into the page would work just as well. That still wouldn't get it to typeset when you click on another post, though. <br />I've basically given up on blogger+mathjax. Google really doesn't want it to happen.

It's an interesting idea; I'll look into trying something like that.Joshua Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825513382152813711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30611202.post-39492735107585595902013-06-11T08:54:53.666-07:002013-06-11T08:54:53.666-07:00I find that MathJax and Blogger are still unhappy ...I find that MathJax and Blogger are still unhappy about working together, too. <br /><br />a hack I use is to sneak in MathJax as part of embedding SageCells. I have javascript in my header to allow these, and it includes a call to MathJax. Somehow, this works better. Even if I don't have a sage cell in a particular post, the math comes out good.Professor Hitchman's Alter Egohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111353916174005765noreply@blogger.com
