Math on GitHub: Following Up
Github's implementation is really lazy. There are many much better approaches to precisely this problem. E.g., Jupyter notebooks implement one that has matured in the wild over a decade. There's this very flexible markdown-it plugin that implements anther https://github.com/goessner/markdown-it-texmath, and my version of it here https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc/blob/master/src/packag... which I rewrote in typescript with a focus on the same semantics as Jupyter has, but for CoCalc, and I've been working on using unifiedjs to provide more general latex for Markdown (not just formulas) here https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc/pull/5982 Parsing math is much easier if you use a plugin to an existing markdown parser, rather than trying to do some hack outside of that (which is what Github probably does, and also what Jupyter does).

Math on GitHub: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
If you use a proper markdown plugin to parse math instead (such as https://github.com/goessner/markdown-it-texmath), then the problems pointed out in this blog post go away.

What is the latest MathJax?
I am using MathJax from Emacs org-mode and it is grabbing MJ 3 from https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js In Emacs I supposedly have configuration options to get, for example, the LaTeX Euler font -- or a few others. But it doesn't seem to work. I inspect my web page output and I see a CSS class MJX-TEX, and it's CSS breakdown is .MJX-TEX { font-family: MJXZERO, MJXTEX; } Good. I think I can simply go into my own CSS and change something with the font family. But I wouldn't know what to. I found this code where it seems to have a long list of "font families" but I have no idea what they are or how to change the above CSS font-family tag. I read that 3 doesn't allow changing fonts. Is that still true? Any knowledge on how to handle/change fonts appreciated.

Math on GitHub: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
One thing that the article gets wrong is accusing mathjax of being abandoned. Development has moved to a new repo for the next version.
- I created a (Linux) script to easily type Unicode math everywhere.
