size format of mathematics in Jupyter book

[chipbrock]

I'm converting from R bookdown to Jupyter-books and I have a constant struggle to try to replicate the css that I have used into this project. For example, I prefer serif fonts for easy long-form reading of a textbook and I can make that happen with my own css inside of _static and here's what I use (which is identical to my bookdown text):

p { font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
color: #000000;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 1.4rem;
line-height: 1.8rem;
margin-top: 1.4rem;
margin-bottom: 1.4rem;
padding-right: 0;
vertical-align: baseline;
}

But. When I do this, the mathematics that's rendered by MathJax is tiny...appropriate to the default formatting of the stock san-serif git-looking css for body the body font.

--> This is only wrong for display math: $$....$$ or $$\begin{align}...\end{align}$$. In-line mathematics is properly formatted with the body.

How can I adjust this so that the math rendering is the same size as my body-text rendering?

I'm actually not sure that css is the proper way to mess with MathJax...I suspect it has to be done in the original <script type="text/x-mathjax-config"> which I have no idea how to modify it properly in Jupyter-books. The js in the bookdown html is quite extensive.

Thanks.

Hello @chipbrock . You can modify the original <script type="text/x-mathjax-config"> using the mathjax_config option in your _config.yml: https://jupyterbook.org/advanced/sphinx.html#defining-tex-macros . Do note that this option works only with Mathjax v2.
Hope this helps.
Which Mathjax version are you using btw?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I assume that I’m using Mathjax 2.x. A produced HTML page in _build shows: <script type="text/x-mathjax-config">MathJax.Hub.Config({"tex2jax": {"inlineMath": [["\\(", "\\)"]], "displayMath": [["\\[", "\\]"]], "processRefs": false, "processEnvironments": false}})</script> which is not entirely satisfying. and from RStudio for my former life inside of bookdown, Mathjax is loaded dynamically: <!-- dynamically load mathjax for compatibility with self-contained --> <script> (function () { var script = document.createElement("script"); script.type = "text/javascript"; var src = "true"; if (src === "" || src === "true") src = "https://mathjax.rstudio.com/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"; if (location.protocol !== "file:") if (/^https?:/.test(src)) src = src.replace(/^https?:/, ''); script.src = src; document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script); })(); </script> which points to 2.7.2 I believe. I’m uncertain about “what to say” to change the font size for display math in the _config.yml . Can you help me there?

Hi @chipbrock, can you share the repo or upload your code in a GitHub repo? so that we can directly replicate the issue.
Thanks.

[chipbrock]

hi Thanks. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve not done that before. I work outside of GitHub, but I used it for learning. It’s probably time to figure that out.

@chipbrock everyone has their first time :)

hi I may have done it. It’s been a mess because I have so many folders with more than 100 files so drag and drop needed to be tended carefully. images may still not load and the config file will maybe call for stuff that’s not in the repo. https://github.com/chipbrock/QSBB_relativity let me know if this worked. thanks On Jun 23, 2021, at 8:41 AM, AakashGC ***@***.******@***.***>> wrote: @chipbrock<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/chipbrock__;!!HXCxUKc!il6mu9zlHbAqZKRxRDOdkroNjWi2r0cnx_btyV6J3xOe6R07yjVZytgH35W8MMA$> everyone have their first time :) — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.
