Help with WText and the javascript library MathJax

Added by 太极美术工程狮 狮长 over 8 years ago

MathJax is a javascript library which renders MathML code into beautiful fomulas.

When the contents of the DOM in the browser changed , you can call javascript code MathJax.Hub.Typeset() to rerun MathJax and refresh the fomulas.

But , how do I know the exact time when the contents of a WText have been completely transfered from the server to the browser ? I have to call MathJax function at that moment.

When I call WText::setText in my c code , the contents are at the server at that time , but what is the time the contents reached the browser and got inserted into DOM ? I didn't find a way to get that information.

I uploaded an example , wish you can get the idea of my question.

Note that , you need to test the example with a browser that doesn't provide MathML support , as far as I know , the browsers with WebKit engine do not fully support MathML.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Hello,

This is done by doJavaScript(). For example:

atclCnttWdgt->setText (WString::fromUTF8 (wholeContent));
atclCnttWdgt->doJavaScript("MathJax.Hub.Typeset()");

Best regards,

Wim.

I have already tried that before .

It seems that ,

atclCnttWdgt->setText (WString::fromUTF8 (wholeContent));

atclCnttWdgt->doJavaScript("MathJax.Hub.Typeset()"); //When the code is executed , the content of atclCnttWdgt has not been inserted into the DOM of the browser yet . And then , MathJax.Hub.Typeset() has not effect.

The order of execution is indeed ill-defined here, I overlooked that. You can delay calling the javascript code by wrapping it in a setTimeout call:

atclCnttWdgt->setText (WString::fromUTF8 (wholeContent));
atclCnttWdgt->doJavaScript("setTimeout(function(){MathJax.Hub.Typeset();},0)");
