org-mode HTML+mathjax export problem

org-mode HTML+mathjax export problem

[Stefano Sabatini]

Hi all,

I recently started to use org-mode and loving it, basically I adopted
it as my internal documentation format.

Now I tried to convert to HTML, and I wanted to use mathjax JS
rendering.
emacs-bzr documentation mention mathjax but as I can see it is only
supported in a recent version of org-mode+git.

So I downloaded latest org-mode+git and installed on
~/share/emacs/site-list/org-mode.

Now I have this line on my init.el:
(load-file "~/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/org-install.el")

and I added this line on the first line of the file to process:
#+MATHJAX: align:"left" mathml:t path:"/MathJax/MathJax.js"

nonetheless the generated HTML contains no JS at all and no link the
the MathJax.js file.

I suppose this is a problem of conflict with the pre-installed
org-mode version, do you have hints for debugging such issues?

Also is there some command (e.g. org-mode-version) which I can use to
check the currently loaded version?

Thanks in advance.

Your install procedure seems rather odd to me. Did you follow
these[fn:1] instructions? Also it is usually preferred _not_ to install
in any special path, instead use org from the org-mode git repository
itself.

To stay updated you can follow the instructions here[fn:2]. Everything
else should work just out of the box.

As an alternative you can also try installing from ELPA[fn:3], but I
haven't tried that.

I want to avoid to break my working environment whenever I update (I
prefer to keep in separate dir every install, test and switch to a new
setup or roll back).

I also tried that, which maybe added to the mess (and org-mode from
elpa is outdated anyway).

Anyway I checked again the instructions and still can't get it to
work, also I noticed that when I check for the org functions with
describe-function I get for example:

|org-version is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
|
|(org-version &optional HERE)
|
|Show the org-mode version in the echo area.
|With prefix arg HERE, insert it at point.

that is I don't have a link to the source code, why?

BTW: (org-mode) -> Org-mode version TAG=7.01g
org-mode is latest git of today.

Isn't that what git is for? Whenever you run into a problem with the
HEAD, you can do `git reset --hard <commit_that_works>' and you should
be back to a working org-mode install.

Maybe you didn't install the elisp files?

Something is definitely wrong, "Org-mode version 7.4
(release_7.4.84.gf7bca.dirty)" this is my output of `org-version'.

This is how I do it,

git pull && make cleanall && make all && make install-info

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/build/org-mode/contrib"))

(require 'org-install)
