I thought I would just document my efforts to get MathJax working with Squiffy. The parameter ``300'' is the millisecond delay in rendering the page. It can presumably be fiddled with to make the page render more quickly.

I put the following two lines right before the </head> line in index.template.html

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config"> 
        MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\(','\)']]}}); 
        </script>
<script type="text/javascript" 
        src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">

I then used the following squiffy file which then does what I intended.

@start intro

[[]]:
	setTimeout("MathJax.Hub.Queue( MathJax.Hub.Typeset())", 300);

[]:
	setTimeout("MathJax.Hub.Queue( MathJax.Hub.Typeset())", 300);

[[intro]]:
We have the equation $ \alpha = \beta $  which is typeset with mathjax.

Then we can go to section [One].
Or [[Next]].


[One]:
\( \beta = \gamma \)

[[Next]]:

Final section.

Note that you may have to reformat the spacing if you do a ``CODE: SELECT ALL''

Thanks to Alex who helped me get this working.
