[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#763843: RFA: mathjax -- JavaScript display engine for LaTeX and MathML

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I have been maintaining MathJax for more than two years, but now I’m becoming
less interested in it and having less time for it.

I would like the new maintainer to make sure the fonts are properly rebuilt
from sources (using MathJax-dev scripts), a task that I started but never
finished (because things became much complicated on upstream side).

Binary packages built from mathjax source are:
 libjs-mathjax
 fonts-mathjax
 fonts-mathjax-extras

The package description is:
 MathJax was designed with the goal of consolidating the recent advances in web
 technologies into a single, definitive, math-on-the-web platform supporting
 the major browsers and operating systems.
 .
 It requires no setup on the part of the user (no plugins to download or
 software to install), so the page author can write web documents that include
 mathematics and be confident that users will be able to view it naturally and
 easily. Simply include MathJax and some mathematics in a web page, and MathJax
 will do the rest.
