Bundled MathJAX?

[ctessum]

Hello,

Apologies for not including a video, I don't want to be that guy, but I really feel like this issue will be explainable without one.

The situation, on which I think everyone can agree, is that Pluto gets its MathJax script from cdn.jsdelivr.net. Here is the relevant section from the sources tab of the chrome browser console:

This is, of course, a normal thing to do, but I am currently using Pluto in to teach a class where we have exams in special computer labs where the computers have firewalled off most of the internet, to discourage cheating.

As you might guess, the problem is that cdn.jsdelivr.net is not on the whitelist, so the equations don't get rendered in the notebooks, which causes the students taking the exam to be very anxious.

So my question is, would it be possible to bundle mathjax in with Pluto, which should solve this firewall problem? (I am told that JupyterLab already does this, and Jupyter notebooks don't have any problems rendering equations in these computer labs.)

Thanks for you consideration!

Hey @ctessum ! This was actually fixed by #3091 recently! So it will be fixed in the next release, should be within 2 weeks :)

When is the exam?

[ctessum]

Thanks! The exam is today 😅. But there is also one next week and the week after so the change is appreciated.

Okay! In that case I'll do a release right now

[ctessum]

Thanks!

Whoops I need to fix #3095 before I can release, I'll try tomorrow

OK, thanks for letting me know.
