Description

Feature requested:

We want to support the substack LaTeX commands in the <math> environment.

This command is explicitly mentioned in 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

This command is 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.

\substack command is supported by texvcjs

Notes for testing

See notes for testing in T318524.

Example of substack in wikitext: P35059.
