@ -326,17 +326,12 @@ Using in-line configuration options
===================================
The second way to configure MathJax is through `in-line configuration`,
which puts the configuration options within the web page itself. This
process was changed in version 1.1 to make it compatible with HTML5.
Earlier versions of MathJax had in-line configuration included within the
content of the ``<script>`` tag that loads ``MathJax.js``, but HTML5 makes
it illegal to have content for a script with a ``src`` attribute.
MathJax solves this problem by using separate ``<script>`` tags to
perform the configuration for and loading of MathJax. Because MathJax
starts its configuration process as soon as it is loaded, the
configuration script must come **before** the script tag that loads
``MathJax.js`` itself. You do this by including a ``<script>`` with
which puts the configuration options within the web page itself. The use
of in-line configuration with MathJax requires two separate ``<script>``
tags: one for specifying the configuration settings and one for loading of
MathJax. Because MathJax starts its configuration process as soon as it is
loaded, the configuration script must come **before** the script tag that
loads ``MathJax.js`` itself. You do this by including a ``<script>`` with
``type="text/x-mathjax-config"`` whose content will be run when
MathJax performs its configuration. Generally, this script will
include a :meth:`MathJax.Hub.Config()` call to perform MathJax
