Please will the mods implement maths rendering?? If the source were made available we could do it ourselves.

Once you implement that we’re stuck with it forever. One could just write sum(dy/dx) and be understood in context by one who is knowledgeable enough.

Being 'stuck' with maths rendering is like being 'stuck' with good health. Bring it on?

What else? Grammar checking? XML? Just approximate with ASCII, please.

Your slippery slope makes no sense to me. What do we need XML for here? Is anybody asking for it? You can use your own grammar checker but you can't render your own equations and submit them.

I hope this site does not.

ADDED. Because the new functionality will be used to create cutesy effects for reasons that have nothing to do with communicating math, increasing the demand for moderation work.

Why? Latex is not how maths if supposed to be read, else we'd all be doing that. It's how it might be written.

edit: Nobody is going to use maths for cutesy effects. Where have you ever seen that happen? Downvote them if they do. It is not going to be a big deal.

It’s a pretty raw website. You’re better served with an extension. A friend of mine made a Chrome extension we use for block / favorite lists e.g.

Even if you personally had a mathjax extension, you would still be prevented from explaining math to others, unless you could convince everyone to install it.
