            Bug ID: 49210
           Summary: MathJax error when using backslash as spacing "\ " in
                    front of semicolon, colon or exclamation mark (";",
                    ":", "!")
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

I noticed a bug in MediaWiki's MathJax implementation:

When using "\ " to produce some spacing at the end of a formula this only works
in front of e.g. dots or commas, but not in front of colons, semicolons or
exclamation marks (those were the cases I tested)

Examples (working):
<math>x\ .</math>
<math>x\ ,</math>

Examples (NOT working):
<math>x\ :</math>
<math>x\ ;</math>
<math>x\ !</math>

I tested these TeX commands in LaTeX as well as the online demo of MathJax and
it works in both of them, so it seems to be a problem in MediaWiki's
implementation of MathJax (or only solved recently in MathJax itself, so the
fix didn't make it yet into MediaWiki's code, English Wikipedia is using
version 1.22wmf5 (43f93b2) at the time of this writing).
