@srowen I have looked about those files, but for complex equations, (e.g.
[this
one](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v2.0.0/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/regression/LinearRegression.scala#L778-L782))
I found it difficult to strip the latex symbols without affecting the
readability of the javadoc: With the latex symbols there, the users can copy
the equation and feed it to a latex viewer like [mathjax online
previewer](https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/test/sample-dynamic.html),
but it would make it impossible if we remove latex symbols from it.
Meanwhile I find it's possible to use MathJax to render the latex in the
scaladoc, as long as we add the necessary javascript to load the MathJax in the
scaladoc javascript template. I played with it a bit and you can see the
screenshot:

Do you think it's a good idea to do it?
