Problem: The current system for displaying mathematical formulas is very unsatisfactory. The formulas are converted into images in which the text appears in black on a transparent background, and then inserted into the text. For this reason, mathematical formulas in some extent clash with the surrounding text:
Most important : sometimes punctuation signs are rejected on the next line when the formula is at the end of the line (cf. this page, in the second paragraph, or the next one, first line).
formulas are always black, whatever the color of the surrounding text (see this page, the note);
the alignment of the mathematical text on the line is not perfect;
less important, the font differs from the ambient font and does not have exactly the same size.
I would therefore like to see the formulas rendered in a more coherent manner with the surrounding text, and above all in such a way as not to violate the most basic rules of typography.
Proposed solution: MathJax for example?
Who would benefit: All readers of scientific articles on Wikipedia/scientific texts on Wikisource or Wikibooks.
More comments: Please note that the request does not concern the input of mathematics by contributors, but only their display.
