<span id="typeset-math"></span><h1>Modifying Math on the Page<a class="headerlink" href="#modifying-math-on-the-page" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>If you are writing a dynamic web page where content containing
mathematics may appear after MathJax has already typeset the rest of
the page, then you will need to tell MathJax to look for mathematics
in the page again when that new content is produced. To do that, you
need to use the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Typeset()</span></code> method. This will cause
the preprocessors (if any were loaded) to run over the page again, and
then MathJax will look for unprocessed mathematics on the page and
typeset it, leaving unchanged any math that has already been typeset.</p>
<p>You should not simply call this method directly, however. Because
MathJax operates asynchonously (see <a class="reference internal" href="synchronize.html#synchronization"><span class="std std-ref">Synchronizing with MathJax</span></a> for details), you need to be sure that
your call to <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Typeset()</span></code> is synchronized with the
other actions that MathJax is taking. For example, it may already be
typesetting portions of the page, or it may be waiting for an output
jax to load, etc., and so you need to queue the typeset action to be
performed after MathJax has finished whatever else it may be doing.
That may be immediately, but it may not, and there is no way to tell.</p>
<p>To queue the typeset action, use the command</p>
<div class="highlight-javascript"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Queue</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="s2">"Typeset"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">]);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This will cause MathJax to typeset the page when it is next able to do
so. It guarantees that the typesetting will synchronize properly
with the loading of jax, extensions, fonts, stylesheets, and other
asynchronous activity, and is the only truly safe way to ask MathJax
to process additional material.</p>
<p>The <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Typeset()</span></code> command also accepts a parameter
that is a DOM element whose content is to be typeset. That could be
a paragraph, or a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><div></span></code> element, or even a MathJax math
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><script></span></code> tag. It could also be the DOM <cite>id</cite> of such an object, in
which case, MathJax will look up the DOM element for you. So</p>
<div class="highlight-javascript"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Queue</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="s2">"Typeset"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s2">"MathExample"</span><span class="p">]);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>would typeset the mathematics contained in the element whose <cite>id</cite> is
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathExample</span></code>. This is equivalent to</p>
<div class="highlight-javascript"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">math</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">document</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">getElementById</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"MathExample"</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Queue</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="s2">"Typeset"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="nx">math</span><span class="p">]);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If no element or element <cite>id</cite> is provided, the whole document is
typeset.</p>
<p>Note that the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Queue()</span></code> method will return
immediately, regardless of whether the typesetting has taken place or
not, so you can not assume that the mathematics is visible after you
make this call. That means that things like the size of the container
for the mathematics may not yet reflect the size of the typeset
mathematics. If you need to perform actions that depend on the
mathematics being typeset, you should push <em>those</em> actions onto the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.queue</span></code> as well.</p>
<p>This can be quite subtle, so you have to think carefully about the
structure of your code that works with the typeset mathematics. Also,
the things you push onto the queue should be <cite>Callback</cite> objects that
perform the actions you want when they are called, not the <em>results</em>
of calling the functions that do what you want.</p>
<div class="section" id="manipulating-individual-math-elements">
<h2>Manipulating Individual Math Elements<a class="headerlink" href="#manipulating-individual-math-elements" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you are not changing a complete DOM structure, but simply want to
update the contents of a single mathematical equation, you do not need
to use <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">innerHTML</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Typeset()</span></code> to preprocess
and process an element’s new content. Instead, you can ask MathJax to
find the <cite>element jax</cite> for the math element on the page, and use its
methods to modify and update the mathematics that it displays.</p>
<p>For example, suppose you have the following HTML in your document</p>
<div class="highlight-html"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">div</span> <span class="na">id</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"MathDiv"</span><span class="p">></span>
The answer you provided is: \({}\).
<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">div</span><span class="p">></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and MathJax has already preprocessed and typeset the mathematics
within the div. A student has typed something elsewhere on the page,
and you want to typeset their answer in the location of the
mathematics that is already there. You could replace the entire
contents of the <cite>MathDiv</cite> element and call
<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Typeset()</span></code> as described above, but there is a more
efficient approach, which is to ask MathJax for the element jax for
the mathematics, and call its method for replacing the formula shown
by that element. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-javascript"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">math</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">getAllJax</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"MathDiv"</span><span class="p">)[</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">];</span>
<span class="nx">MathJax</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Hub</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">Queue</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="s2">"Text"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="nx">math</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="s2">"x+1"</span><span class="p">]);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This looks up the list of math elements in the <cite>MathDiv</cite> element
(there is only one) and takes the first one (element 0) and stores it
in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">math</span></code>. This is an <cite>element jax</cite> object (see the <a class="reference internal" href="../api/elementjax.html#api-element-jax"><span class="std std-ref">Element
Jax</span></a> specification for details), which has a
<a class="reference internal" href="../api/elementjax.html#Text" title="Text"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">Text()</span></code></a> method that can be used to set the input text of the
math element, and retypeset it.</p>
<p>Again, since the typesetting should be synchronized with other actions
of MathJax, the call should be pushed onto the MathJax processing
queue using <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MathJax.Hub.Queue()</span></code>, as shown above, rather than
called directly. The example above performs the equivalent of
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">math.Text("x+1")</span></code> as soon as MathJax is able to do so. Any
additional actions that rely on the expression <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">x+1</span></code> actually
showing on screen should also be pushed onto the queue so that they
will not occur before the math is typeset.</p>
<p>The actions you can perform on an element jax include:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="describe">
<dt>
<code class="descname">Text(newmath)</code></dt>
<dd><p>to set the math text of the element to <cite>newmath</cite> and typeset.</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<code class="descname">Rerender()</code></dt>
<dd><p>to remove the output and reproduce it again (for example, if
CSS has changed that would alter the spacing of the
mathematics). Note that the internal representation isn’t
regenerated; only the output is.</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<code class="descname">Reprocess()</code></dt>
<dd><p>to remove the output and then retranslate the input into the
internal MathML and rerender the output.</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<code class="descname">Remove()</code></dt>
<dd><p>to remove the output for this math element (but not
the original <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><script></span></code> tag).</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<code class="descname">needsUpdate()</code></dt>
<dd><p>to find out if the mathematics has changed so that its output
needs to be updated.</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<code class="descname">SourceElement()</code></dt>
<dd><p>to obtain a reference to the original
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><script></span></code> object that is associated with this element jax.</p>
</dd></dl>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Note that once you have located an element jax, you can keep using it
and don’t have to look it up again. So for the example above, if the
student is going to be able to type several different answers that you
will want to typeset, you can look up the element jax once at the
beginning after MathJax has processed the page the first time, and
then use that result each time you adjust the mathematics to be
displayed.</p>
<p>To get the element jax the first time, you need to be sure that you
ask MathJax for it <strong>after</strong> MathJax has processed the page the first
time. This is another situation where you want to use the MathJax
queue. If your startup code performs the commands</p>

<p>to change the student’s answer to be the typeset version of whatever
is in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">studentAnswer</span></code> variable.</p>
<p>Here is a complete example that illustrates this approach. Note,
however, that Internet Explorer does not fire the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">onchange</span></code> event
when you press RETURN, so this example does not work as expected in
IE. A more full-featured version that addresses this problem is
available in <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/blob/master/test/sample-dynamic.html">test/sample-dynamic.html</a>.</p>

<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../tex.html#tex-support"><span class="std std-ref">TeX input</span></a> allows you to automatically number equations. When modifying a page, this can lead to problems as numbered equations may be removed and added; most commonly, duplicate labels (and thus <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">id</span></code>’s in the DOM) lead to issues.</p>
<p>You can reset equation numbering using the TeX Input’s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">resetEquationNumbers</span></code> but you will need to re-process the page to update the labels afterwards, e.g.,</p>
