← Session 20 — Website: math/formula rendering review
thinking (1182 chars)
The user says math equations aren't rendering correctly on the site pages (Results Ledger, Experiments, Derivations, Graveyard, Journal, etc.). They ask: are we using MathJax or LaTeX?
Per RH-WEBSITE.md: vendored MathJax 3.2.2 (tex-chtml) is used for math in markdown, no CDN. So MathJax is the intended renderer. The issue could be:
1. MathJax script not loading (path issue)
2. Markdown rendering eating the math (python-markdown processing `$...$` content — e.g., underscores becoming `<em>`, backslashes escaped)
3. The "math-protect" mentioned in RH-WEBSITE.md data flow ("python-markdown + math-protect") — maybe it exists but has bugs.
I need to investigate. Let me look at the code: web/dashboard/research_data.py (parsers, math-protect), templates (where MathJax is loaded), static vendor files.
Let me explore the relevant files. I'll check:
- web/dashboard/research_data.py — markdown rendering + math protection
- web/dashboard/templates/dashboard/*.html — base template, MathJax loading
- web/dashboard/static/dashboard/vendor/ — MathJax file present
Let me do this efficiently with parallel calls. First, list the web directory structure and read research_data.py.
We're using **vendored MathJax 3.2.2 (tex-chtml)** — not server-side LaTeX. Let me check why it's not rendering.
