Hi!

The default limiter for mathjax is for example \\( for inline math. How can I change it to use $? The following always returns "Error parsing additional MathJax configuration"

MathJax.Hub.Config({
  tex2jax: {
    inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],
    processEscapes: true
  }
});

   The current version is a little buggy in handling this. The desired
   input is just the settings part:

   {
   tex2jax: {
   inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],
   processEscapes: true
   }
   }

   But it's having a bit of trouble processing. This is vastly improved in
   the next update, which has been submitted to the App Store for review
   and will come out for direct customers at the same time.

   Dear Brett,

   thanks for the quick answer. If I copy this into the "Additional Mathjax Option" I still get the error "Error parsing additional MathJax configuration".

   Will this be fixed in the next version (I use Version 2.4.11 (895))

   Yes, 2.5 parses it much better.
