As it turns out, Mathoid has been completely redesigned since the mathoid-treeprocessor extension was first written. I had to do a major overhaul of the code to get it operational again. The good news is a) it works and b) it's based on a stable release of Mathoid, so we shouldn't have random breakage in the future. I think this is now a very viable extension, assuming you are okay to run it on Linux and are able to install the prerequisites.

You do need to be using Node.js 4.4.7. I recommend using nvm to manage your Node.js version. Once the nvm script is setup, you can simply run:

$ nvm install 4

or, if it's already installed:

$ nvm use 4

There are new instructions for how to setup the mathoid processor in the mathoid.rb script. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/mathoid-treeprocessor/mathoid.rb. It should be much simpler now. In a nutshell, you just type:

$ npm install mathoid

Mathoid no longer uses PhantomJS. Instead, it uses MathJax via an adapter that allows it to work server-side in Node.

I'm interested to hear if you're able to get it working.

Once we verify the extension is functional, there are still a lot of things we could do to improve it, such as cache the SVG so it doesn't have to be generated on each run.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Now that mathoid has stablized and can run without PhantomJS, it's probably time to start thinking about creating a repository named asciidoctor-mathoid to complement asciidoctor-mathematical. There's no question this is going to be the more popular extension given that it doesn't have the limitations of mathematical. (It will be interesting to see if we can get it running on Windows, but I'm at least confident we can get it running under JRuby).

I'm running on Mac OS but I'll see what happens.

Yes, I needed that for the old version of mathoid. Homebrew has a version of it, so I installed that yesterday. As we speak I'm pulling down the latest version of extensions-lab. I've installed nvm and mathoid using npm. About to try the new version of mathoid-treeprocessor.

Hmmm.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

I just can't get this working. I have uninstalled npm/nvm and reinstalled them. nvm is at ~/.nvm. I reinstalled node 4 (nvm install 4).

I went to ~ and installed mathoid which creates a folder ~/node_modules which has mathoid in it.

I copied this node_modules folder to lib/mathoid_treeprocessor in my test project. But still nothing works. Running the following:

asciidoctor -r ./lib/mathoid-treeprocessor test.adoc --trace

gives the following result:

The file test.adoc contains:

[stem#equation1]
++++
"d"(bbp,bbq) = sqrt((p_1 - q_1)^2 + (p_2 - q_2)^2)
++++

and this compiles okay with asciidoctor test.adoc.

Any clues???? Would installing mathoid globally help (npm install -g mathoid)?

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

@mojavelinux Update: Realised that the first line of the error shows that something something (open3.rb?) is sensitive to spaces in path names. Grrrrrrrrr.

I moved the project to a disk and folder with no spaces in their names and now get:

Failed to start Mathoid server. Check that a process is not already running.
Mathoid server is not running.

I couldn't get the mathoid server to start with npm run mathoid but using the server.js file revealed that mathoid is looking for something called config.yaml. It doesn't come with that file but there are two others config.prod.yaml and config.dev.yaml. I copied the dev into config.yaml and was then able to run the server using server.js. Huzzah!

Next problem: the mathoid.rb extension is choosing to look for mathoid-config.yaml in the same folder from which asciidoctor was called. So, copying that config.yaml from ./lib/mathoid-treeprocessor/node_modules/mathoid to ./ seems to have done the trick.

Using the source:

= _Precompiled_ Math!

Here's a stem block:

[stem#equation1]
++++
"d"(bbp,bbq) = sqrt((p_1 - q_1)^2 + (p_2 - q_2)^2)
++++

Here's some inline maths: stem:[2^2=4]

Gives the following output:

NOTE:

1. The stem block comes out huge.
2. The inline stem is not being rendered.
3. It works (i.e, renders as above) with the asciidoctor-pdf backend
4. It also works with the asciidoctor-epub3 backend (as long as the spine and imagesdir are correctly formatted and set), though again, it's giving jumbo sized equations and is not rendering the inline stem.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

ps, how would one incorporate mathoid-treeprocessor into a gradle.build file? I tried but am getting undefined method 'pid' for #<Thread:0xea40c9f.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

pps, it seems one has to have the node_modules folder containing mathoid in the mathoid-treeprocessor folder. As this comes to about 167 MB, I was wondering if it's possible to instead link to a common location for this node? For example, on my machine mathoid is installed in ~/node_modules. Can we force it to see that instead? Sorry, but I'm new to node/npm.

UPDATE: nevermind, I saw in the mathoid.rb file that it uses either the MATHOID_HOME environment variable or the local node_modules folder, so I set up the environment variable in .bash_profile and it works.

However, I do note that it seems a bit random whether it will work or not. As often as not invoking mathoid results in a

Failed to start Mathoid server. Check that a process is not already running.
Mathoid server is not running.

error. Mathoid doesn't show up as a running process either with ps or in the Mac Activity Monitor. Is it possible to ensure it shuts down after each run?

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

First, going to the top. You need to run nvm install in the mathoid-treeprocessor folder for right now. I'll clarify that. That's something we can clean up once we move to making this a formal extension. Likely we'll run npm install when the gem is installed, so that the node_modules folder ends up inside the installed gem directory. The current situation is just a requirement of us still being in the lab.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Instructions updated.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

While trying to get it working, you may end up with the situation where the mathoid server did not properly shut down. The mathoid wrapper doesn't yet deal with this situation (in an effort just to get it working). If you get the message that it is already running, use the following:

ps a | grep server.js

Find the running server, then kill it

kill -s SIGTERM 17709

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Realised that the first line of the error shows that something something (open3.rb?) is sensitive to spaces in path names.

I did a very quick system call. I just need to quote it properly so it handles spaces.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Spaces in filenames are now supported.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Would installing mathoid globally help (npm install -g mathoid)?

No. At the moment the extension assumes the npm module is installed locally. I'll have to do more investigation and testing to see if we can detect it globally.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

I couldn't get the mathoid server to start with npm run mathoid but using the server.js file revealed that mathoid is looking for something called config.yaml.

Ooops! I forgot to commit the file. Doh! On the way...

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Added. Now you should be able to run:

npm run mathoid

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

The stem block comes out huge.

The equation expands to fit the container by default. I now pass the width attribute from the stem block to the image block, so you can now use that attribute to customize the width.

The inline stem is not being rendered.

Yes, that is a limitation of this extension. We don't yet handle inline stem nodes.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

ps, how would one incorporate mathoid-treeprocessor into a gradle.build file?

I haven't gotten that far yet. Likely, we'll need to invoke the system command in a way that is compatible with JRuby. It's certainly possible, I just haven't looked into it.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Would installing mathoid globally help (npm install -g mathoid)?

No. At the moment the extension assumes the npm module is installed locally. I'll have to do more investigation and testing to see if we can detect it globally.

I got round this by setting the MATHOID_HOME environment so that mathoid.rb will now execute it wherever I have mathoid installed.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

Added. Now you should be able to run:

npm run mathoid

Also, when using it as a required library from Asciidoctor it's still looking for mathoid-config.yaml in the folder from where asciidoctor was invoked rather than in the mathoid-treeprocessor folder.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

I'll need to resolve the full path to the source file so it works when
MATHOID_HOME is different.

No problem.

Btw, I figured out how to support the inline stem macro properly, so we
have a path to full STEM support.

Excellent news!

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

The mathoid extension should now work when MATHOID_HOME is set.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

I am not at all knowledgeable about how npm works, but I have managed to get a node_modules/mathoid directory in asciidoctor-extensions-lab/lib/mathoid-treeprocessor (npm install mathoid -g --prefix ./ installed it in lib/node_moduls, so I moved it up not knowing if that is okay). So far - so good.

But when I run npm run mathoid in that directory I get:

npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/th/tools/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/lib/mathoid-treeprocessor/package.json'

And running this also fails:

Could you describe how you installed mathoid into the mathoid-treeprocessor directory and how you run it? Especially how you set MATHOID_HOME.

from asciidoctor-extensions-lab.

I don't have time to focus on the mathoid extension, so I'm going to remove it from this repository.
