The MathJax Components — MathJax 4.0 documentation (original) (raw)
In order to make it possible to customize what parts of MathJax you include in your web pages, the MathJax code has been broken into individual pieces, called components. These are designed to share common code so that you don’t download the same thing more than once, while still making it possible to only download the parts that you need. There are individual components for the various input and output processors in MathJax, for the individual TeX extensions, for the various font selections, and for other specialized pieces, such as the MathJax contextual menu and the assistive technology support. These can be mixed and matched in whatever combinations you need.
There are some obvious combinations of components; for example, TeX input together with SVG output, or MathML input with CommonHTML output. MathJax provides a number of these common combinations as complete packages that contain almost everything you need to run mathjax in your page in a single file, though you can also configure additional extensions to be loaded as well, and MathJax may autoload other components when they are needed.
Note
In version 3, there were a number of combined components that included most of the TeX extensions. These components ended in-full. Because the number of extensions has grown, and continues to do so, including with third-party extensions, it is impractical to include all the extensions in a single file. In version 4, the -full versions have been removed, along with theall-packages extension.
Components provide a great deal of flexibility in determining the pieces of MathJax that you use. You can even make your own custom builds of MathJax that package exactly the pieces that you want to use. See Making a Custom Build of MathJax for more details about how to do that.
