There is recurring interest in getting Math to display on Cohost. Last time I asked, which was close to a year ago, word from @staff was that MathML might be feasible after it was added to Chrome and working. Apparently that happened! In like January!
So, what will it take for <math> and MathML Core (the subset actually implemented by Chrome) to work.
Attached screenshots:
* Entering the example <math> content for the quadratic equation into composer window
* current behavior: tags stripped, buncha numbers just kinda hanging out
* desired behavior: something what looks like an equation.
Desired behavior achieved by using Dev Tools to copy-paste sample <math> code into page HTML. Browser is Vivaldi (Chromium-based). I'm aware that, uh, it doesn't look great. Hopefully there's some CSS that can fix it, maybe something about block elements.
Example Math code, copy-pasted from W3 website on MathML Core, reproduced below for convenience.
