## Description

sphinxcontrib-jsmath is a sphinx extension which renders display math in HTML
via JavaScript.

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

A Sphinx extension that renders mathematical display equations in HTML output using JavaScript instead of static images or server-side rendering.

Verdict: A lightweight, dependency-free Sphinx extension under a permissive BSD license, but abandoned since 2019 with no maintenance activity. Suitable only for stable, legacy documentation builds that do not require updates or security patches. Modern Sphinx projects should evaluate current math rendering alternatives.
