I agree that MathJax really is very good, however there are some specific technical difficulties because the ')set output tex' of FriCAS (and other Axioms) is not quite pure and simple enough for MathJax alone. It depends on some predefined latex macros and uses several legacy constructs that are supported. MathJax would be a better option if some time was first spent on cleaning up the tex output from FriCAS. On the other hand we already have MathML support in FriCAS and it would be very nice to expose that on the wiki as an alternative to LaTeX. > ...
