how to configure sphinx to use local mathjax

I'm having some trouble getting Sphinx to build pages with a local mathjax library. In the documentation here, it says just to add the following mathjax_path = "MathJax-2.7.4/MathJax.js" to conf.py, but after building the files, I still get <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.0/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML"></script>

Is there something else I need to do, besides run make html to get the configuration to load?

I just added the mathjax_path = "MathJax-2.7.4/MathJax.js" to the end of my conf.py file.

Solution

  • I figured out that Sphinx doesn't rebuild your files unless your .rst source files changed. Because the configuration file doesn't touch the .rst files, it won't cause a rebuild. I ended up just removing all the files from the build directory and letting it recreate all the files.
