Math Jax

MathJax is a markup language for formatting mathematics, and has been supported on this site since January 2019.

It uses AsciiMath, which appears to result in some syntax differences and limitations as compared to the MathJax syntax used at sites such as Mathematics Stack Exchange to render LaTeX.
