Is there a way to align MathJax display-mode expressions on the left margin?

- $\begingroup$ @hardmath \ In answer to your question: There are certain differences in the way "display" renders certain mathematical notations -- e.g., summation -- in distinction to the same mathematical notation as rendered by "in-line." I do not do internet-related except on my 'phone, and I prefer a narrower field of vision. $\endgroup$Senex Ægypti Parvi– Senex Ægypti Parvi2016-02-07 16:56:53 +00:00Commented Feb 7, 2016 at 16:56

You can do this with a userscript that I wrote. Assuming you have a script manager (Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey) installed in your browser, clicking Raw button in Github interface will prompt for userscript installation.
The script is very simple:
if (MathJax) { MathJax.Hub.Config({displayAlign: "left"}); MathJax.Hub.Rerender(); } If instead of changing the appearance of all formulas on your computer, you want to change the appearance of your formula on all computers, then replace $$...$$ with $\displaystyle ...$ and put the latter into its own paragraph (surrounding with blank lines). For example, $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$$ becomes
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$
