Additional information

This worked in previous versions of Obsidian, so I’m not sure if this is a MathJax change or a change made by Obsidian. Unfortunately I don’t know which exact version is the latest one that worked, though if there’s a way to easily install different obsidian versions, I’d be happy to bisect.

some changes were made to mathjax config a couple of versions ago because it could be used as an attack vector (e.g. run javascript).

Ah ok, good to know. Is there currently a supported way to change the MathJax config via a plugin? I read some old threads (e.g., here, and here), but I couldn’t find anything more recent. It would be nice to be able to modify the safe extension options to add transform as a supported style. Is there any more recent movement on this feature, or still something on the TODO?
