Hi Antonio, I came to report the same issue after trying the Katex plugin to replace the Mathjax one I have been using, as I supposed the Katex one will be better supported going forward.
In using the Mathjax plugin I was pleasantly surprised to find that equations clipped from Wikipedia (thanks BJ!) render correctly after being wrapped in $$'s. The same doesn't seem to be true of Katex, which is sad. This then causes the issue that you mention. I am curious what you mean by "Since MathJax doesn't sinc"? Where won't it sync to? (Do you mean it doesn't work with the latest version of TW? In which case there is a fix here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/mathjax%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/pnkePWaMc4k/ESSJ2F2EQCIJ) Are you a Math teacher? I am working on a project to write maths textbooks in TW. Maybe you would like to be involved?
