It is possible to take (most of) the equations on a page and convert them to Canvas format if you or someone you know has some programming skills. Your included library would be rendering it, not Canvas, but it would be similar. There have been several lengthy discussions and some feature requests about changing the way that math is handled with Canvas. The custom JavaScript needs done at an account or sub-account level, you cannot add it at the course level and it may not work well with mobile apps. That can have some accessibility issues, but I sure do like the ability to zoom with MathJax better than what I get out of Canvas' equation editor. To do so would require that your Canvas admin add custom JavaScript to invoke MathJax or KaTeX. There currently is no support within Canvas for recognizing LaTeX triggers like $ or \ and converting what is inside of it on the fly. This approach doesn't do what you asked (have Canvas render it).Īdd external JavaScript to process (admin level) It's not native to Canvas, but you can do all those things that Canvas' security model won't let you do like including the JavaScript necessary to render the LaTeX. If the web page is housed on a secure server (https vs http), you can embed the page into Canvas through an iframe. That said, here are some things you might consider.
