Native MathML rendering doesn't work on the numpy and scipy documentation websites

[ragdollfun]

Hello everyone,

I use a browser extension by the name of "Native MathML" which forces formula rendering engines like MathJax/KaTeX/MediaWIki to use native MathML rendering. The extension seems to be working on other websites (including Wikipedia, tell me if you know of other websites where I can test this for comparison), but it doesn't work on the numpy and scipy documentation websites. (I seem to remember it working in the past, but I'm not 100% sure now)

To illustrate the issue, I've included two screenshots:

one where the extension is activated:

and a second one where the extension is deactivated:

My browser is Firefox version 99.0.1 (64-bit)

Sorry, didn't know I could do that

Can I ask why? Does this help with accessibility or something like that?

Hi @rgommers, Well, it's nice to be able to copy-paste formulas from web pages, but truly it's more about me being a sticker for web standards. It is a feature I could live without. 😅

What has me puzzled though is that the numpy and scipy documentation web sites are the only ones (that I know of) where I encounter this issue. 🤔

Thanks for the reply. Okay, this is very low-prio then. Fixes are welcome, but I guess it's in Sphinx, MathML itself, or elsewhere. We do nothing special with LaTeX.
