Support for modelica:// URIs for scripts in HTML

[Dietmar Winkler]

For some time now OMEdit supports MathJax, which is great. Now today I had to add this ​comment to the Modelica tracker. This lead me to play around with MathJax in my library again. Wouldn't it be great if we could load MathJax.js from a local URI to make the documentation of the library independent of online resources?

Example, instead of writing

<html>
<script type=\"text/javascript\"
  src=\"http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML\">
</script>
$$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$
</html>

I would download and store the MathJax.js file locally and then use it like:

<html>
<script type=\"text/javascript\"
  src=\"modelica://MyLib/Resources/Scripts/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML\"
</script>
$$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$
</html>

which means I can ship my library with a MathJax version I know works and don't depend on network connections.

Another step would then be to be able to enable the MathJax rendering globally without having to add the <script>...</script> part into every Modelica file. Could well be a configuration in OMEdit but I would actually prefer to specify it in my Library instead.

Fixed in r18682 (have a look; it was not very hard) :)

Oh, just remember to put your local mathjax on a diet as the library is huge if you include everything. ​https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mathjax-users/7lzyzXMw5ek

Excellent an especially thanks for the link as I was also recently worried about MathJax huge size.

Seems to have been broken again as part of #3311.
