Hi Jeremy, thanks for your interest!
A warning for no mathml support sounds like a good idea. Perhaps something like the message that shows up when saving the wiki? I'll have to look at how that works. I'm not sure there is a smaller (good) polyfill than MathJax. I looked around a bit, but didn't find much. A good source of info on this stuff seems to be the author of TeXZilla, Frederic Wang. His blog is http://www.maths-informatique-jeux.com/blog/frederic/? The following post is a bit dated, but discusses the roadmap for efforts in webkit: http://www.maths-informatique-jeux.com/blog/frederic/?post/2013/10/12/Funding-MathML-Developments-in-Gecko-and-WebKit. I should also add that I came across TeXZilla from padawanphysicist's github page, https://github.com/padawanphysicist. He had a plugin for markdown + latex in TW5, but now I don't see it anymore. Parts of the macro parsing came from there. I created a demo at http://tw5-texzilla.tiddlyspot.com, and also linked this from the plugin's github readme. Finally, I was always impressed with the latex support in instiki, which is used for serious math(s). See, for instance, http://ncatlab.org/johnbaez/show/Circuit+theory+I . So the fact that TeXZilla closely follows itex2mml (the parser for instiki) seemed like a good sign to me. As I mentioned in my message to Jed Carty, it would be interesting to look at implementing numbered equations with referencing. Another nice feature of instiki is latex export, which takes the page and outputs a tex file that one can use to generate pdfs in the usual manner. I'm looking forward to learning more about how TW5 works by trying to implement some of these features!
