Does the plugin support mathjax?

[huangjj27]

I'm in love with mdbook and always write something with math formula in markdown, And I want to make this thing to be published as epub files. However, I found out that the mathjax support for mdbook is output.html only. Does anyone have the same requirement to display math in their epubs ?

Adding Mathjax V2 support like mdbook is possible in ePub3 with supported reader. Though mdbook-epub is generating ePub2 book, it may not a big deal.

Some are using mdbook-katex preprocessor that would be more friendly to browserless readers. But it require mdbook-epub to support preprocessor first.

I did mdbook preprocessor reusing by mdbook-epub in branch

Recently the PR with changes was closed after three years of review. :))

So that is quite possible (e.g. in branch) to clone existing mdbook preprocessor, update it's behaviour and call it in 'per chapter' manner.

The approach of preprocessing per chapter may not required? Could it be preprocessed in whole book basis? or we just add mathjas support with user provided template or with a flag?

The original mdBook preprocessors work that way and process the entire book.

mdbook-katex is a quite good replacement of MathJax. I'm considering to switch to it.

Yeah, but it's not true for mdbook-epub.
As a renderer mdbook-epub itself is not able to invoke preprocessors to modify the content of books.

Another approach to do that can be found at my fork. It utilize MDBook::execute_build_process(&renderer) API to invoke mdbook-epub as a renderer to render preprocessed content. If that is desired, I would send PR here.

Is it link to all necessary changes ?? I would like to see all code sources.
