textmacros
The textmacros extension adds the ability to process some text-mode
macros within \text{}
and other macros that produce text-mode
material. See the Differences from Actual TeX section for how text-mode is
handled without this extension.
This extension is not loaded automatically, and can’t be loaded via
the autoload extension. To load the textmacros extension, add
'[tex]/textmacros'
to the load
array of the loader
block
of your MathJax configuration, and add 'textmacros'
to the
packages
array of the tex
block.
window.MathJax = {
loader: {load: ['[tex]/textmacros']},
tex: {packages: {'[+]': ['textmacros']}}
};
Alternatively, use \require{textmacros}
in a TeX expression to load it
dynamically from within the math on the page, if the require
package is loaded.
Available Macros:
The macros available in text mode with this extension are listed
below. In addition, any macro that is defined via \def
or
\newcommand
or in the macros
section of the tex
configuration block will also be processed if they only contain macros
from the list below.

Additional Packages
You can configure the textmacros extension to use additional packages, just as you can specify additional math TeX packages. Normally, these should be pckages designed for text mode, but it is possible to load some of the regular TeX packages as text macros. For example
MathJax = {
loader: {load: ['[tex]/textmacros', '[tex]/bbox']},
tex: {
packages: {'[+]': {'textmacros'}},
textmacros: {
packages: {'[+]': ['bbox']}
}
}
}
would make the bbox extension available in text mode, so
you could use \bbox
inside \text{}
, for example. Not all
math-mode extensions are appropriate for textmode, but some can be
usefully employed in text mode.
