I am facing a problem using mathjax. the equations already available are formatted but the equations that I put by myself are not being formatted.
here is my code:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<script async="true" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@2/MathJax.js?config=AM_CHTML">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="eq">
<button onclick="amb()">equation</button>
<p id="amb"></p>
<p>`x^3`</p>
<script>
function amb() {
eq = document.getElementById('eq').value;
document.getElementById('amb').append("`" + eq + "`");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
First, I suggest use a form
and a type=submit
button for a better UX.
I found the solution you need to queue an action to rescan the page: MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset",MathJax.Hub]);
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<script async="true" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@2/MathJax.js?config=AM_CHTML">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form onsubmit="amb(); return false">
<input type="text" id="eq">
<input type="submit" value="equation">
</form>
<p id="amb"></p>
<p>`x^3`</p>
<script>
function amb() {
eq = document.getElementById('eq').value;
document.getElementById('amb').innerText = ("`" + eq + "`");
MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset",MathJax.Hub]);
}
</script>
</body>
