Thanks @Meyerweb & @fractalkitty in particular for helping me understand the uses of both #MathML and #LaTex ( and #MathJax ) at yesterday's #IndieWeb Front End Study Hall. I updated https://lab.artlung.com/mathml/ a bit.
Excited to share my free PDF booklet: "SILE and the Hydra of Maths: Showcase & Critical Assessment 2024".
It chronicles my journey enhancing math support in #SILE, exploring challenges & insights across:
#MathML, #TexLatex #MathJax, #Unicode, #UnicodeMath, #Typst, #Lout, #AsciiMath, #OpenType and more.
What a journey!

It would be amazing if there was a blogging platform designed to render #code and #maths (latex/mathjax).
It's 2024 surely we shouldn't be uploading pngs of rendered latex, nor hacking the html headers to include #mathjax or #prism or #highlightjs
And a platform that isn't going to suddenly switch and make people pay to see your content.
(i know many people like self-hosting or running code to generate content - but many others just want to type and hit publish with no local software)

Heh.
I've finally worked out how to write a #MathJax v3 extension which adds a TeX macro calling some JS function that returns TeX code!
It only took four years since MathJax 3 was released. 
MathJax is the de facto standard tool for rendering TeX maths notation on the web, and it's only developed by two people, neither of whom are particularly interested in writing documentation.
This is a textbook case of the misaligned motivations in open source: rendering maths notation is hugely valuable to a lot of very big companies, but the MathJax project gets relatively little funding.
And Davide doesn't seem to work in a way that makes it possible for volunteers to contribute to the project, so development only happens at his and Volker's speed.
#Cryptpad ist ja sooo cool 
Habe gerade eine schnelle #Markdown-Präsentation zusammengeschrieben und dabei gemerkt, dass dabei auch Tabellen, Mindmaps, Diagramme, mathematische Formeln und vieles mehr möglich ist.
https://docs.cryptpad.org/de/user_guide/apps/code.html#markdown
und über #Codemirror ist @mozilla und mit dem #prototypefund sogar das @bmbf_bund daran beteiligt! 
Danke sag' ich dazu!
Edit: #FediLZ darf natürlich nicht fehlen.
