Hi Dominik,

Thanks for investigating this further.

Thanks for the link.

So you are advocating that Org tries to work around limitations in
html/MathJax?  Is this the *only* known case of mathjax not fully
supporting LaTeX?

It seems easy to fix in org-html-format-latex, but I’m not sure it’s the
right way to go (touching people’s math seems like a bad idea).  Does
e.g. KaTeX have this limitation as well?  Presumably, ’yes’.

Another option is simply documenting this behavior.

I’m not sure what is the right approach is here.

Rasmus
