| Mar 26, 2021 at 19:20 | comment | added | Peilonrayz Mod | @Catija "Why are your previews in dark mode?" Because my preferred browser has a dark mode addon and white previews hurt my eyes when writing up. I do check on a browser with no scripts but keep activity in such an environment to the minimum. "what you think should happen instead" I don't know how better to explain myself than in my first comment. The two solutions I talked about are; ① don't eagerly evaluate the MathJax outside of where I properly tell the software where MathJax is ② render things correctly (see the blockquote example at the top of the question). | |
| Mar 26, 2021 at 18:35 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | Why are your previews in dark mode? Are you using a script to change this? I do get the same results without the $$ when I paste this code but, with them, it works as expected - is it the fact that the MJ is rendering at all without the $$ that is part of the issue? I think @Edward makes some good points - Having a "what you think should happen instead" might make this easier to understand for me - This also occurs on some other MJ-enabled sites, such as Mathematics, so It'd be good to know what the common concern is and how it should be addressed. :) | |

| Mar 22, 2021 at 21:33 | comment | added | Edward | I'm not disagreeing, just not understanding. Typical bug report forms ask both "what did happen" (which you have documented) and "what should happen" which I'm not yet able to infer. | |
| Mar 22, 2021 at 21:29 | comment | added | Peilonrayz Mod | @Edward Personally I don't think MathJax should be eagerly evaluating. We've had posts break because of MathJax before, adding a single $$ to your post shouldn't mangle the backslashes in your question. If SE disagrees, I'd want the output to at least be correct (first example) and not be striping backslashes. Since the related bug has regressed to the point where MathJax seems to not work at all in the tag wiki. I really only care the bugs are fixed, not how. | |
| Mar 22, 2021 at 21:13 | comment | added | Edward | It might be useful to indicate what you think should happen in these cases. It's not clear to me. | |
