Startup Options
###############
The `startup` component is responsible for creating the objects needed
by MathJax to perform the mathematical typesetting of your pages, and
for setting up the methods you may need to call in order to do that.
It is configured using the ``startup`` block in your configuration
object.
-----
The Configuration Block
=======================
In the example below, :data:`Startup` represents the
:attr:`MathJax.startup` object, for brevity.
.. code-block:: javascript
MathJax = {
startup: {
elements: null, // The elements to typeset (default is document body)
typeset: true, // Perform initial typeset?
ready: Startup.defaultReady.bind(Startup), // Called when components are loaded
pageReady: Startup.defaultPageReady.bind(Startup), // Called when MathJax and page are ready
document: document, // The document (or fragment or string) to work in
invalidOption: 'warn', // Are invalid options fatal or produce an error?
optionError: OPTIONS.optionError, // Function used to report invalid options
input: [], // The names of the input jax to use from among those loaded
output: null, // The name for the output jax to use from among those loaded
handler: null, // The name of the handler to register from among those loaded
adaptor: null // The name for the DOM adaptor to use from among those loaded
}
};
-----
Option Descriptions
===================
.. _startup-elements:
.. describe:: elements: null
This is either ``null`` or an array of DOM elements whose contents
should be typeset. The elements can either be actual DOM elements,
or strings that give CSS selectors for the elements to typeset.
.. _startup-typeset:
.. describe:: typeset: true
This determines whether the initial typesetting action should be
performed when the page is ready.
.. _startup-ready:
.. describe:: ready: MathJax.startup.defaultReady.bind(Startup)
This is a function that is called when MathJax is loaded and ready
to go. It is called by the :ref:`loader-component` when all the
components are loaded. The default action is to create all the
objects needed for MathJax, and set up the call to the
:meth:`pageReady()` function below. You can override this function
if you want to modify the setup process; see :ref:`startup-action`
for more details. Note that this function may be called before the
page is complete, so unless you are modifying the objects created
by the `startup` module, replacing :meth:`pageReady()` may be the
better choice.
.. _startup-pageReady:
.. describe:: pageReady: MathJax.startup.defaultPageReady.bind(Startup)
This is a function that is called when MathJax is ready to go and
the page is ready to be processed. The default action is to
perform the initial typesetting of the page and return the promise
that resolves what that is complete, but you can override it to do
whatever you would like, though you should return the promise from
the :meth:`MathJax.startup.defaultPageReady()` function if you call
it. See :ref:`startup-action` for more details and examples of how
to do this.
.. _startup-document:
.. describe:: document: document
This is the document (or fragment or string of serialized HTML)
that you want to process. By default (for in-browser use) it is
the browser document. When there is no global :data:`document`
variable, it is an empty HTML document.
.. _startup-invalidOption:
.. describe:: invalidOption: 'warn' // or 'fatal'
This determines whether an invalid option will cause a fatal error
(when set to ``'fatal'``) that stops MathJax from running, or a
warning (when set to ``'warn'``) that allows MathJax to go on.
Prior to version 3.2, invalid options were fatal, but this option
now allows control over that behavior.
.. _startup-optionError:
.. describe:: optionError: OPTIONS.optionError
This option gives a function that is called whenever there is an
invalid option provided by the user. It takes two string
arguments, the first being the message, and the second being the
name of the invalid option. The default function looks at the
``invalidOption`` value and if it is ``'fatal'`` it throws an error
using the given message, otherwise it logs the message to the
browser console, allowing further options to be processed.
.. _startup-input:
.. describe:: input: []
This is an array of names of input processors that you want to use,
from among the ones that have been loaded. So if you have loaded
the code for several input jax, but only want to use the ``tex``
input jax, for example, set this to ``['tex']``. If set to an
empty array, then all loaded input jax are used.
.. _startup-output:
.. describe:: output: null
This is the name of the output processor that you want to use,
from among the ones that have been loaded. So if you have loaded
the code for several output jax, but only want to use the ``svg``
output jax, for example, set this to ``'svg'``. If set to ``null``
or an empty string, then the first output jax that is loaded will
be used.
.. _startup-handler:
.. describe:: handler: null
This is the name of the document handler that you want to use,
from among the ones that have been loaded. Currently, there is
only one handler, the HTML handler, so unless you are creating your
own handlers, leave this as ``null``.
.. _startup-adaptor:
.. describe:: adaptor: null
This is the name of the DOM adaptor that you want to use, from
among the ones that have been loaded. By default the components
load the ``browser`` adaptor, but you can load the ``liteDOM``
adaptor for use in `node` applications; if you do, it will set this
value so that it will be used automatically.
