This question raised an issue I was not aware of (and didn't see any existing tickets for):
https://ask.sagemath.org/question/41592/inside-help-not-processed/# When viewing docs for Sage objects in the Jupyter Notebook, they are just displayed as plain text--this is a major shortcoming over SageNB which renders the latex in the online help. What's worse, in the Notebook the docs are passed through the same "de-texification" that is used on the command-line to make some tex readable in plain ASCII. There are two issues here: 1) The de-texification is obviously imperfect. The particular example contained \longrightarrow which it didn't know what to do with. Easily fixable, but beside the point. It will never be 100% perfect (it also looks like it could benefit tremendously from Unicode support which has never been added to it). 2) It goes without saying that in the Notebook help should be rendered by MathJax. It's not clear to me that the Jupyter Notebook actually knows that it can/should run MathJax over the help window, but currently it does not appear to run MathJax over the help panel (even if I explicitly wrap equations in dollar signs or something). Has anyone else looked into this? Thanks, E -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
