Why it is a bug? It seems to be import to distinguish between

    <m> $ \widetilde{\nu}=1/\lambda $ </m>
or <m> \( \widetilde{\nu}=1/\lambda \) </m>

and, on the other hand,

<m> \[ \widetilde{\nu}=1/\lambda \] </m>

The current behavior, with MathJax displaying equations as if there were $ delimiters while other renderers do not, is a bug because it leads to errors. I am not suggesting we remove delimiters at this point: the easiest fix (which is probably what we will do if it is not already done) is to make MathJax display fail when it is missing $ delimiters. It makes sense especially since MathJax only supports equations, while <m> is supposed to handle LaTeX outside of equation delimiters.

In the future I think we should move away from non-math LaTeX (which would reduce this problem), but that is another topic of discussion.
