The backslash character also happens to be the escape character for
python strings. See http://docs.python.org/ref/strings.html. So for
every backslash you want to get processed by jsmath you need an extra
backslash in your string. This quickly gets rather ugly.
As an alternative, you can prefix your string with r, so your example would be:
L = r"An ordered field is a field $F$ which is also an ordered set,
such that \\ \textbf{(i)} $x+y<x+z$ if $x,y,z \in F$ and $v<z$. \\
\textbf{(ii)} $xy>0$ if $x,y \in F$, and $x,y>0$."
which would ignore the typical python escape sequences (except for \u,
I believe).
