Using local MathJax files with Django / Mezzanine - django

Question

I would like to load MathJax in my base template with:
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']]}
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="{% static "js/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" %}">
</script>
However in the rendered template the URL is returned as:
/static/js/MathJax/MathJax.js%3Fconfig%3DTeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML
and MathJax doesn't work.
If I hard-code the URL as src="/static/js/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" it works. How can I prevent Django/Mezzanine from escaping the ? and = characters? Is there an alternative approach?
[The reason I want to use a local MathJax is for development when I'm away from an internet connection; I use a CDN in production.]

Answer 1

I would try moving the config parameter outside the static reference and see if that helps:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="{% static "js/MathJax/MathJax.js" %}?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">
</script>
I don't know Django or Mezzanine, but if the static is what is encoding the URL characters, moving them outside might prevent that.
