Aug 23, 2013 at 10:24 comment added Arjan Your right, @Cole, but for me a desktop browser is just much faster than that old Nexus S. But indeed, both need to do the JavaScript processing, and in the end both display fine. (Still then, the Markdown source is horrible, I feel. And it's not accessible, just like any non-table workaround.)
Aug 23, 2013 at 8:22 comment added Cole Tobin @Arjan desktop browser does that too. It's not Chrome. It's the rendering engine. That would be WebKit everywhere except desktop (and I believe android) which use Blink. Being based off of WebKit, Blink "suffers" from many of the "quirks" WebKit has.
Aug 12, 2013 at 8:49 comment added Arjan @Sha, funny sequence of 3 clearly visible render steps in Chrome on my old Nexus S.
Aug 12, 2013 at 8:13 comment added Shadow Wizard @Arjan hmm... good point, guess the include it on mobile theme as well then.
Aug 12, 2013 at 8:06 comment added Arjan Mobile shows it here: math.stackexchange.com/questions/465599/about-x-0-1-1-1-x0 so the JavaScript is included there, @Sha. (Though it renders slow on my oldish Nexus S.)
Aug 12, 2013 at 8:04 comment added Arjan No, @Sha, I mean the final result. If I view a post on mobile and it includes a syntax that needs some excluded JavaScript to render it...
Aug 12, 2013 at 7:58 comment added Shadow Wizard @Arjan just checked, in the mobile theme there's no preview at all, problem solved. ;)
Aug 12, 2013 at 7:55 comment added Arjan But then, @Sha, we'd be shown the source instead...?
Aug 12, 2013 at 7:54 comment added Shadow Wizard @Arjan regarding the last part, the mobile theme can easily exclude those libraries, it's already excluding tons of stuff. I strongly believe that's the case already on the sites supporting MathJax i.e. when using the mobile theme you can't use this magic. :-)
Aug 12, 2013 at 7:52 comment added Arjan The result might be nice, but as for editing I'm afraid I even prefer ASCII tables over the above. And like @ShaWizDowArd already wrote, the team wrote on some occasions: "It will never be on Stack Overflow, though, as it is an extremely heavy dependency" (August 2010). Note that mobile browsers need to be able to render it too.
Aug 12, 2013 at 6:13 comment added Shadow Wizard I've seen somewhere a dev saying the JS library for MathJax weights several mega bytes so the bandwidth cost is huge and not worth the rare cases where it's needed on Stack Overflow. Makes sense to me. :)
