Changelog Entry

Changed

• Switched math block syntax from $$ to Tex-style \[ \] and \( \) delimiters with improved rendering and error handling, in PR #5353, by @OEvgeny

Description

This PR enhances mathematical expression support in Web Chat by switching to TeX-style delimiters and introducing robust error handling.

Design

The implementation uses (\[ \] delimiters for block math, \( \) delimiters for inline) with a custom tokenizer and HTML renderer. Block math is rendered in figure tags while inline math uses span tags. Invalid expressions fall back to pre or code tags with an error state, allowing to apply styling if desired. The system uses Katex for rendering with MathML output and includes distinct styling for block and inline displays.

Specific Changes

• Created new math extension with:
  • Custom tokenizer for block and inline math
  • HTML renderer with fallback on error
• Updated markdown renderer to use the new math extension
• Added support for inline math expressions
• Enhanced CSS styles for math blocks and inline math
• Added test cases for:
  • Basic math notation
  • Complex equations
  • Error scenarios
  • Inline vs block math
• Updated sanitization rules to support math-related attributes

Greek font is missing in the docker image, I verified it works as expected in my browser

I think we can npm uninstall micromark-extension-math and may need to npm install katex.
