Question

We all know that MathJax renders elements on window onload by default (and can be refreshed using MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset",MathJax.Hub]); Reference Link), but is there a way to ‘unrender’ the elements? So for example, after the page just loaded, I can click a button, and all the elements will turn back into their TeX code. Is that possible?

Answer 1

It seems that MathJax hides the original LaTeX code in an element called MathJax-Element-x, which contains the original code. So what I did was simply hide all elements with the class MathJax_Display, in which the formatted version appeared, and showed all elements starting with MathJax-Element-. Seemed to work fine.

EDIT: Instead of selecting MathJax_Display elements, I had to select all the elements inside MathJax_Display, like MathJax_Display *. I also had to change the type of element the LaTeX code was put in, as it was in a script.
