I'm trying to edit a math-heavy epub document. My goal is to have this document renderable on pure ebook readers (e.g. e-ink devices) as well as in computer-based EPUB renderers. Specifically, I do not wish to rely on having a Javascript engine available to the rendering agent. Therefore, I avoid Mathjax.
I'm working with equations initially written in either LaTeX or ASCIImath code, then rendered into MathML using an online tool like temml (above) or even ASCIImath (
https://asciimath.org/). I know that not all HTML or ePub versions directly support MathML, but it is in the current standards. I suppose this is a problem for future me, but right now I use HTML5 / EPUB3 compliant renderers, such as Flow/Firefox on Windows, or a Readium-based app (e.g. R2 reader) on Android-based e-ink devices.
So what (you may be wondering) does this have to do with the Calibre Editor? Well, as far as I can tell, the Calibre Editor still uses Mathjax to render pure MathML. This is not too much of a problem, as it usually gets the general layout correct, but Mathjax version 3 only supports its own fonts, not a specified font which MathML supports natively.
So,
if this is indeed the case, is there any way to get the Calibre Editor to render MathML "natively" and avoid piping it through Mathjax?
