Description

This is more of a question than a bug, but I am trying to add contextual menus when using component/tex2svg-page, but it is not working. From what I can tell, it should be using the combined component, tex-svg.js and this should "just work", but I don't see the contextual menu. I've tried manually loading ui/menu and setting enableMenu: true, as per the docs:

https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/web/components/misc.html#menu-component

+        inlineMath: [['\\$', '\\$'], ['\\(', '\\)']]
     },
     svg: {
         fontCache: argv.fontCache,

But then I get:

> node ./tex2svg-page --dist /tmp/mathjax.html > /tmp/mathjax-svg.html
MathJax: Invalid option "enableMenu" (no default value).

Research direction

Start with component/tex2svg-page and the menu-component documentation linked in the issue, then run the shown node command with the reported configuration. Trace why enableMenu is rejected and why the contextual menu is absent; done means the page renders with a working contextual menu without the invalid-option error.
