This blog is rendered using pelican, pelican is a python program that reads files in restructured text (or in markdown) and produces a static site.

Recent versions of pelincan has a plugin that transparently handles math directives, and renders them using MathJAX library. Hovewer it uses mathjax from cdnjs.cloudflare.com, and I have decided that this blog will contain resources only from domains I control.

Luckily it turned out that fixing this was easier than I thought:

1. Copy the es5 directory from the github mathjax repository. to the static file folder of your template.

2. Add the following to your site config:

   MATH_JAX = {
       "source": '''"''' + SITEURL + '''/theme/mathjax-es5/tex-chtml-full.js"'''
   }
   

   I think that /theme/ should be more along the lines of THEME_STATIC_DIR variable in jinja context, but I don't really care that much.

3. Sadly you'll need to redo it in publishconf.py as it uses different SITEURL.
