Details

Description:
jupyter ships a stripped down version of mathjax, with fonts and all, in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/notebook/static/components/MathJax/. This could be replaced with a symlink to /usr/share/mathjax, which would save space, provide always the latest mathjax version, and make more fonts available.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  currently an optdepends, which appears to work okay and no one can give a convincing reason why this isn't sufficient.

I like this. Putting together Mathjax is the largest and slowest step of the build as well, and might remove the 'node' makedep.

Fixed in jupyter-4.0.2-4. The ipython-widgets are also enabled now.

I consider that the fix creates a non-optional dependency on mathjax, which becomes just as necessary as the other notebook related dependencies. See also https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/352#issuecomment-135351269

It creates a nag that can be safely ignored. With the latest version the intensity of the nag has been decreased.

How is "non-optional dependency on mathjax"? I am presently using the notebook without Mathjax. It appears optional to me.
