Document resetEquationNumbers about mathjax-docs

[pkra]

The code in AMSmath doesn't tell me enough to do this. We can do this after 2.4 is out.

[dpvc]

That's fine. It was added in 2.3 anyway, so has gone without documentation for a while.

[pkra]

This was fixed.

[Klortho]

This was fixed.

Link? Google finds nothing

[pkra]

I think this was erroneously closed. From the linked PR (#59), it sounds like I worked on a branch accidentally named issue3 instead of issue54. I'm guessing I later went through issues, saw the PR link and closed this without checking.

I actually don't know what @dpvc wanted documented here. What are you looking for @Klortho?

[Klortho]

This. I just ran into this problem, in our render-math service.

resetEquationNumbers lets us keep the same instance of MathJax running, and feed it new equations, not knowing or caring what labels were used before.

[pkra]

This.

Ah, thanks.

in our render-math service.

Nice. Are you aware of MathJax-node?

[Klortho]

I was aware of it, yes. You guys got that started after we had already forked svgbin and did quite a bit of work on it. Not sure if/when it'll be worth going back and replacing what we have now.

[pkra]

Ah ok, that makes sense. There are multiple service built on mathjax-node now (mathjax-server, mathoid, mmlcloud); it would be good to bring people together to share experiences and identify improvements. Maybe we can chat some time? I'll ping you by email.

@dpvc I guess documentation should go into http://docs.mathjax.org/en/v2.6-latest/tex.html#automatic-equation-numbering ? I can't see how to fit it into http://docs.mathjax.org/en/v2.6-latest/options/TeX.html very well (but perhaps it does?).

[dpvc]

It may be better in the dynamic HTML section rather than the TeX section, since that is when it would need to be used.

[pkra]

A fix is in the 2.6-latest branch. I also added a link to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/v2.6-latest/tex.html#automatic-equation-numbering.
