When we use the print friendly pages and the PDF generation tools the Mathjax code isn=92t processed by the client and the results are anywhere there would normally have been an equation is just a mess of Latex. We need students to be able to print the pages with the mathjax code. One option is to use another Latex editor that processes the code server side but this is very limiting as it just converts the code to images on the server side and links them. Because they just process the images the code is never saved so any time we want to make a change we have to completely rewrite that segment of code. Also because they are stored as images they are clumsy to work with compared to mathjax. We need a Latex editor that will allow for client side processing of the Latex code and a PDF converter that will interpret that code when generating the PDF=92s= . Considering how many departments at Berkeley will require this I would hope that it isn=92t terribly difficult to implement. Right now it seems like there=92s only one viable option I=92m going to be testing out but i= f you have any ideas I=92m all ears. I know many wiki=92s have the ability = to both edit the math notation and offer a printer friendly page that also processes the math notation. It doesn=92t make sense for us to transition to Drupal unless it supported the same functionality.
