When you run 'make' in SAGE_ROOT, it builds sage and runs 'make doc-html'. I propose changing this so it instead runs 'make doc-html-jsmath', which uses jsMath to display math, rather than png images. In my experience, using jsMath is much faster, and the output looks good. (Individual users can make this the default by setting the environment variable SAGE_DOC_JSMATH to "yes", by the way.)
[ ] Yes, make jsMath the default when running 'make'. [ ] No, keep it as is. ------- To compare the two, try this while in SAGE_ROOT: $ unset SAGE_DOC_JSMATH $ rm -rf devel/sage/doc/output $ time ./sage -docbuild tutorial html Now repeat the last two lines: sometimes the first run through is slower than the rest. You should note how long it takes, and also look at the output. Then do $ rm -rf devel/sage/doc/output $ time ./sage -docbuild tutorial html -j # "-j" says to use jsMath and compare output and timings. On my machine, without jsMath takes about 2 minutes, with jsMath takes about 10 seconds. We must have had some reason for not using jsMath by default. Does anyone remember what it was? -- John -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
