The dimensions and structure of mathematical content within a Jupyter book

As I transition from R bookdown to Jupyter-books, I am facing a challenge in replicating the css style I have been using. Particularly, I prefer serif fonts for better readability in textbooks and I have implemented this custom css inside _static which closely mirrors my bookdown text:

p { font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
color: #0;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 1.4rem;
line-height: 1.8rem;
margin-top: 1.4rem;
margin-bottom: 1.4rem;
padding-right: 0;
vertical-align: baseline;
}

However, when I apply this styling, the math equations rendered by MathJax appear small, matching the default san-serif font of the body text.

--> This size discrepancy is noticeable in display math environments like $$....$$ or $$\begin{align}...\end{align}$$. In-line math appears correctly relative to the body text.

Is there a way to adjust this so that the math equations are displayed at the same size as the body text?

I am unsure if tweaking css is the right approach for modifying MathJax behavior. It might require adjustments in the original settings, and I'm not sure how to properly modify it within Jupyter-books given the extensive js present in the bookdown html.

Answer №1

It has been approximately half a year since your original post, but today I came across something similar and stumbled upon your post. I felt compelled to share my solution with you. While it may not be the only or the best answer out there, it did get the job done.

Jupyterbook is essentially a version of Sphinx that utilizes the mathjax javascript engine. You have the ability to customize the appearance of rendered tex by adjusting settings in your _config.yml file like so:

sphinx:
  config:
    mathjax_config:
      "HTML-CSS": {
        matchFontHeight: true,
        scale: 80
      }

The overall output appears to be influenced by the "HTML-CSS" parameter. Feel free to refer to the provided link for a comprehensive list of customization options available.

Wishing you the best of luck!
