Do we want MathJax?

Some Codidact communities have MathJax enabled, which allows using mathematical notation in posts. For examples of what this looks like, see the end of the Mathematics Codidact formatting help.

Would this community like MathJax to be enabled? I couldn't find a previous discussion of this on Meta.

There is a small oddity wherein this post shows up strangely in list pages:

Regex to get text outside brackets

I am trying to capture the content outside square brackets in groups, using this regex: (.*)\[.*?\](.*) And it works perfectly for a simple string like this: testing_[_is_]_done This is the…

If code blocks are not supposed to appear on list pages, is MathJax?

MathJax should show, but this bug shouldn't (4 comments)

MathJax is useful on list pages (look through Mathematics for examples in titles, or Physics for examples in body text), but what you've found doesn't show as MathJax in the individual question page, only as a bug on the question list page.

I don't know the cause of this bug, but it seems there are 2 separate questions here:

  1. Should this bug show? (I would say no)
  2. Should intentional MathJax show? (I would say yes)

If the Software Codidact community decides to switch off MathJax to avoid this bug, or to request MathJax be switched off just for the list pages, the bug will still need to be addressed for other communities such as Mathematics Codidact.

I'd guess it would make sense for the bug to be raised on main Meta to separate it from this local decision.

Thanks for raising MathJax on list pages on main Meta. Mentioning for anyone else reading this who might want to contribute to the discussion there.

Not exactly a well-received question, but thanks for linking it. =)
