Hi everybody.
My apologies for being late into this discussion, but I tested MathJax a
few weeks ago and I wasn't able to make it work in Announcements or
Forums, because these tools have the javascript disabled in the HTML. It
seems that the only tool that allows MathJax is Resources, which allows
javascript.
So I wonder: is there any way of embedding MathJax in FCKEditor? I have
taken a look on the Confluence page but it's not clear to me if there is
some way of doing it.
I can see that there are another alternatives that allow themselves to
be embedded into FCKEditor, but our teachers like MathJax very much.
Best regards.
