Thanks,
I included code int he page header. Mathjax work fine, but STACK should use Mathjaxloader filter with moodle 2.7+ in the future. Do not you think?
Daniel, Pablo,
I've just been looking at STACK in Moodle 2.7, and I'm not at all familiar with the MathJaxloader. Putting the mathjx scripts into the additional HTML was a bit lazy, and I'll certainly try to make sure STACK conforms with default settings in Moodle. The whole point of using MathJax was not to have to worry about displaying maths myself, and I'll try to ensure the future design of STACK has the minimum number of differences or extra settings.
So, yes, I will look at the loader and use it if STACK can be modified to do so.

I looked at some of the mathematics display code in STACK, and the second method I suggested above may not work. STACK seems to check that the TeX filter is enabled on the system level. It does not check the local context.
STACK requires custom code for each Moodle filter to set some of the filter configuration. Since mathjaxloader is new it will require some support code to work. Mathjaxloader does some formatting with PHP (removes $$) before it loads the javascript so it will need to be treated like a PHP. It also requires signal to typeset every time content is loaded by AJAX (yui/input.js).

And no more warning! Wonderfull!! I just tought I should include theses lines as I would have liked to found them somewhere on this site.When I put \\( \\) as latex boundary, the text is not interpreted. But @ @ work! Should I use the later in the meantime. Thanks!
Thank you for pursuing this and posting the results.
Actually, because I'm spending the summer working on questions to use with students, I've slipped behind with checking Maxima versions, so you are a little ahead of me here. I'll try to make sure I check Maxima 5.31.3 before the next teaching session starts in Sept.
I'm also going to try to streamline the process of creating the optimised memory image, but this might have too many server specific settings to work reliably. I'll try.
