            Bug ID: 69554
           Summary: MathJax Error "Bracket argument to \\ must be a
                    dimension" in \begin{align}
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Math

Intention:
When I use something like \\[5px] to add 5px space between lines in a formula
of an align-enviroment I get the error "Bracket argument to \\ must be a
dimension".

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a page with the code:

<math>\begin{align}
1+1=1 \\[5px]
2+2=4
\end{align}</math>

Actual Results:  
When rendering the above equation with MathJax, one gets the error "Bracket
argument to \\ must be a dimension".

Expected Results:  
The equation should be rendered properly with 5px space between each line.

Reproducible: Always

The problem do not occur when one uses for example "ex" as a dimension (e.g.
"\\[2ex]"). I also noticed that there is natively more vertical space in
MathJax between lines inside equations so that one can also omit the extra
space argument.

I do not know whether there are plans to change the default math rendering to
MathJax, but if so this bug might be a problem. That's why I reported it.
