<h2>MathJax URL</h2>

<p>The default configuration uses the latest stable version on the MathJax Content Distribution Network (CDN). http and https protocols may be used as appropriate.</p>
![](/@@/translation-newline)
<p>Alternatively, $cfg->mathjaxpath may use a local server installation of MathJax. See <a href="http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/installation.html">the documentation</a> for more information.</p>
![](/@@/translation-newline)
<p>The default includes a commonly used configuration allowing input of MathML, AsciiMath, TeX or LaTeX and processing to MathML or HTML-CSS.</p>

<h2>Additional configuration of MathJax</h2>
![](/@@/translation-newline)
<p>Additional MathJax configuration can be added to $cfg->mathjaxconfig. The default MathJax configuration should be appropriate for most people, but MathJax is highly configurable and any of the standard MathJax configuration options can be added here.</p>

<p>By default, the mhchem extension which adds the \ce macro for chemical formulae is included. See <a href="http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#tex-and-latex-extensions">the documentation</a> for more information.</p>
