@BAYMAX I remember that when we talked in another chat room, you mentioned you had problem with the bookmarklet for rendering math in chat. Did you manage to get it working since then?

@MartinSleziak No i am unable to do it , i have chrome too but i dont know how to? .

Hi @BAYMAX.

First of all, is your bookmarks bar displayed?

BAYMAX

Hi @MartinSleziak..

a star symbol is displayed in top right corner

bookmark this page

Martin Sleziak

You can display/hide bookmark bar it by Ctrl+Shift+B or through Bookmarks -> Show Bookmarks Bar.

The star symbol is different from bookmark bar.

BAYMAX

Now if you go to this page: math.ucla.edu/~robjohn/math/mathjax.html You can see there the link called start chathjax.

All you have to do is to drag it to the bookmark bar.

I.e., you keep button pressed after clicking on it and move it to the bookmark bar.

Some math formulas for testing: $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x =1$.

$$\sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk = 2^n$$

BAYMAX

$\sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1$

$\sin^{2}x + \cos^{2}x = 1$

After you have the "start ChatJax" in your bookmarks bar, you have to click on it.

And then the MathJax should be rendered.

This means that when you enter chat room where, you have to click on it after entering. But then it will work for any new formula anybody writes.

Of course, not if there is a mistake in MathJax like this: $\bino nk = \bino n{n-k}$.

But for correctly entered expressions is should work: $\binom nk = \binom n{n-k}$.

@BAYMAX Is it working now?

BAYMAX

wait a bit .. please... i will be after a while...sorry for troble

Martin Sleziak

No problem. Feel free to ping me if there are any problems. (I will likely be near the computer.)

Do not forget to click on the bookmarklet after you manage to get it to the bookmarks bar.

Just in case this might be helpful for some other users who have problems getting the bookmarklet to work, here are a few pictures showing where the bookmerks bar is: images.google.com/images?q=bookmarks+bar+chrome

Some info and screenshots can be found also in these posts on Superuser: How to hide the bookmark bar? and What is the Hotkey to show Chrome bookmark bar?
