    Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers

    Thanks a lot! I see now, I am able to reproduce the issue if I go into chrome://flags, search for "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents", and select "Enabled with simple HSL-based inversion". Just choosing "Enabled" seemed to break the LaTeX entirely. (Please let me know if that isn't roughly what you did)

    I don't know how I'll fix this (I've never really debugged mobile web specific stuff before), but I'll look into it this weekend.

    There must be a way to fix it, since I don't see the issue when going to https://www.mathjax.org/#demo and entering something like this: $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$

  • AlexCalc

    Scientific calculator with LaTeX equation display, variables, units, complex numbers. Runs locally in your browser with WebAssembly.

    Hm I have dark mode enabled on the phone and then the chrome flag is just on default. How could I check which of the implementations this will select?

    This is chrome 97.0.4692.98

    I'd also think we move this from HN to some issue tracker?
