Description

Feature requested:

We want MediaWiki to support more LaTeX AMSMath environments in its <math> environment.

This is part of a wish in the 2022 wishlist: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Editing/Missing_LaTeX_capabilities_for_math_rendering

Functionality/software changes

These environments are already supported by MathJax. So, all we have to do is change texvcjs to allow these commands to be passed to MathJax in the backend.

Extra environments are supported by texvcjs

AMSMath environments which we probably could support:

Notes for testing

See notes in T318524.

Example of these environments being used in wikitext: P34947

The gathered environment only makes sense if we supported numbering, which I don't think we do.

The CD environment is a bit more complicated, so might need to be implemented in a separate ticket.
