MathJax 3 support
voidbert opened this issue · comments
The proposal
Currently, haddock uses MathJax 2.7. Due to new features, new packages, etc., I believe some users would be interested in the option of using MathJax 3.
I opened this issue to see if someone would be interested in this feature, and to discuss how it could be implemented.
Inherent problem and fix
MathJax 3 introduces some API breaking changes. More than breaking configuration files (which could easily be fixed from haddock's end), this breaks some existing formulas. Therefore, it may be a good idea to let users choose between the older and newer version.
I am aware that a custom MathJax URL can be provided (--mathjax [url]). However, due to the different configuration files needed, I suggest introducing a new command-line option (like --mathjax3 [url]).
In the future
If people are interested in this feature, and it ends up being implemented, a way to integrate it with cabal would be needed.
