For what it's worth, I consider the ability to use <br> to be very helpful. Further, if there is a substitute MathJax mechanism that some users employ, where these users might not know about <br>, then I don't think it is a good idea to lose a MathJax oriented line breaking mechanism. Also, although I have never employed it, a MathJax oriented line breaking mechanism does allow someone to format a single $...$ paragraph, rather than separate $...$ lines.

| Nov 29, 2022 at 15:36 | comment | added | Xander Henderson Mod | @CalvinKhor I am not sure why you pinged me---I only marked the post as status-review in order to make the SE developers aware of it. I don't have a stance on the issue, one way or another. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 3:20 | comment | added | Calvin Khor | if this is about v2/v3/v4, I agree with Ѕᴀᴀᴅ; @XanderHenderson, V4.0 fingers-crossed comes out early 2023, as per this comment from MathJax dev Davide Cervone | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 1:59 | comment | added | Ѕᴀᴀᴅ | An alternative to updating MathJax is to use TeXZilla to convert TeX input to MathML output and to utilize browsers' native rendering. Firefox and Safari have been supported MathML for a long time, and Chrome has added (back) MathML support since 106. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 1:50 | comment | added | Ѕᴀᴀᴅ | 1. One of the reasons held back the migration to v3, IIRC, was that v3 doesn't support line-breaking. 2. MathJax v4 is in the alpha stage now (see MathJax's release page), which adds back line-breaking function and even comes with inline line-breaking, so it might be better to wait for the final release of v4 instead of migrating to v3 now. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 1:46 | comment | added | Ѕᴀᴀᴅ | @MarkMcClure The latest version in the 2.7 series is 2.7.9 according to MathJax's GitHub release page, though. | |
| Nov 28, 2022 at 22:00 | comment | added | Mark McClure | Yes, MathJax V2.7.5 is four years old but it's still the most recent V2 version of MathJax. It would definitely be great to see StackExchange move to V3, which is much faster and has a more modern API. I don't think it's a trivial task, though. | |
