⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to integrate dynamic LaTeX rendering into a Flask-based web application using MathJax and KaTeX.

Key Activities:

  • Developed Flask routes and HTML templates for dynamic exercise display, leveraging MathJax and KaTeX for LaTeX rendering.
  • Adjusted links in index.html to ensure correct routing to exercise content.
  • Implemented a function to fetch exercise content from text files, ensuring proper rendering in the web application.
  • Addressed LaTeX rendering issues, particularly with unsupported environments like β€˜enumerate’, by modifying LaTeX content and extending MathJax configuration.
  • Integrated MathJax via CDN for efficient LaTeX rendering.

Achievements:

  • Successfully set up a dynamic exercise display system in Flask with LaTeX rendering using MathJax.
  • Resolved LaTeX rendering issues, ensuring compatibility and proper display of mathematical content.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further testing and optimization of LaTeX rendering configurations to handle more complex environments and expressions.
  • Explore additional features for enhanced user interaction with the rendered content.
