User verilog15 installed the MathJax plugin on their Discourse community but it’s not displaying formulas, possibly due to the site being set to Hebrew (RTL). jomaxro reported that MathJax works for them on try.discourse.org with Hebrew as the locale, suggesting that the issue might be related to other plugins or customizations. simon mentioned that for inline rendering, formulas need to be wrapped in single $ characters, which is working for him on his local site with the Hebrew locale. verilog15 has the ad plugin installed but it’s not being used, and is seeking further thoughts on the issue.
I installed the MathJax plugin on my localhost Discourse community. I enabled it in the settings:
But for some reason it does not display the formulas, not in the topics and not in the previous:
The formula I tried:
$$\frac{a}{b} \cdot 5 = 5a\cdot b^{-1}$$
Discourse is set to be in Hebrew (RTL). Maybe that is the reason?
How to solve it?
Works for me on try.discourse.org with both the default locale and user locale set to hebrew.
Are you running other plugins or site customizations?
For inline rendering, you need to wrap the formula in single $ characters.
This is working for me on my local site, with the Hebrew locale:
$\frac{a}{b} \cdot 5 = 5a\cdot b^{-1}$
