It was under 58kB of ASCII when it left here.  That 5.3 MB must be the
size in RAM, which hardly matters.  Page authors can configure aspects
of the loading, which might help there.

At the moment, I first wanted to get it all working in as near a default
setup as I can, and next I want to move the equations into the HTML
representation of the Englished text, at <essai-3c.htm>.  That means
delaying MathJax start until completion of the existing pre-processing.
I gather that it would be easy enough if I first read and remember the
right parts of the documentation.
