Notebook: LaTeX \boldsymbol not rendering

[rlabbe]

I'm fairly sure this used to work. I upgraded 2 of my machines to IPython 4 and Jupyter via the Anaconda distribution, and left one at IPython 3. Only the IPython 4/jupyter machines exhibit the following behavior.

$\boldsymbol{..}$ no longer renders - it is displayed in red as a latex error. I tried install MathJax locally with

from IPython.external.mathjax import install_mathjax
install_mathjax()

but that did not help.

edit: I have mathjax 2.5.0 installed on my computer locally, and have checked that boldsymbol.js is in .ipython\nbextensions\mathjax\extensions\TeX. While opening the notebook the console displays

404 GET /static/components/MathJax/extensions/Tex/boldsymbol.js?rev=2.5.3(::1) 9.00ms

I have the same problem, just after updating to Ipython 4 and Jupyter with Anaconda, like the OP, the \boldsymbol in all my notebooks stopped working.

Also, the headers in the markdown cells , like #Header_text now need an space between the # sign and the text: # Header_text

1) will be fixed by https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/pull/324

2) please keep 1 bug per issue. See https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/304 the space in between # and text is due to marked that changed its behavior oand on which we have no control about sadly.

What about $\bm{...}$? $\boldsymbol{...}$ is deprecated and should be replaced by bm.

[denysvitali]

I agree w/ @Atcold , \bm{...} should be implemented too!

[AlJohri]

agreed. cc @Carreau. would love to see \bm{...}

[DCMMC]

but \bm{...} still not be implemented.

[flxai]

Since @Carreau already closed this issue:
Are there any plans to implement \bm{...}? Should I open another issue for this?
