Change Details

Mathoid currently uses MathJax version 2 to convert the LaTeX dialect texvc to standard HTML ([nativeHTML](http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/output/mathml.html)) and [SVG](http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/output/svg.html) fallback images. Now, MathJax 3 dropped support standard HTML5, but introduced a new variant they call [common HTML](http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/options/output/chtml.html#chtml-options). If we updated to MathJax3 we lose the standard conform annotation of Math in the dom (even though one could argue that MathJax is the de-facto standard). It would, however, improve the experience for most users, which is a very strong argument to update. I could not figure out if the new CHTML mode works without javascript enabled in the client. I think it should, but I could not find the information.

However, it seems that the internal MathML representation is still available from the API. The update will improve the experience for most users, which is a very strong argument to update.
