LaTeX in dash not functioning

[mromanel]

I am trying to get LaTeX equations into static content.

After trying to implement this solution into my code to no avail:

Mathjax & LaTeX in dash

i need to ask how can i render latex using mathjax on callbacks.

I copied the code in this post exactly:

Mathjax & LaTeX in dash

Update: it is possible to use MathJax on static content, but not on dynamically generated content (as noted by the OP). Here is a MWE demonstrating both: import dash import dash_html_components as html app = dash.Dash(__name__) mathjax = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.4/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML' app.scripts.append_script({ 'external_url' : mathjax }) app.layout = html.Div(id='main',children=[ html.Div(id='static',children='$$ x=1 $$'), html.Div(id='dynamic'…

And it looks like this:

How do I get LaTeX equations to render correctly in static content, and why didn’t that code work, copied exactly?

@mromanel The code you copied is from May 2018, but as noted later in the thread, a dash update seems to have broken that solution. The most recent posts in the thread (April 2020) contain a solution that I just verified is working in Plotly pip version 4.10.0.

As noted in the linked GitHub issue, I am still hoping for a solution upstream at plotly.js, but I haven’t looked into this lately.

Also, not to be rude, is there any reason you made a new thread here vs adding to the old thread?

oh, I was looking at the April 2020 posts but my eyes glossed over the

@jessexknight

configuring mathjax to re-run* every x (e.g. 1000) milliseconds via js script in assets/

part.

whoops.

Also, it never even occurred to me to post in the old thread instead

Aha no worries! Hopefully this solved the issue (for now)!
