I think we can solve this issue by looking at how Wikipedia does the alignment of text and LaTeX snippets. A cursory look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution ... shows that they use something like this: <img src="..." style="vertical-align: -0.838ex; width:5.663ex; height:2.676ex;"> The alignment parameters are also dependent on the snippet itself. > If we could somehow fix that, MathJax-less export > could become usable in practice *and* it would also unlock full LaTeX > power, including TikZ and beyond!

For me, Emacs using MathJax as default came across as an unpleasant surprise: any person aware of the free/libre software movement knows that one should never allow Javascript to run in their browser: (ref https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html ). MathJax is not even compatible with LibreJS and loads script from a bunch of 3rd-party servers like Cloudflare. This enables those 3rd parties to track visitors to your website. Also, by loading external scripts, author of an website essentially puts the website and its visitors under the mercy of the script: the script, if malicious, can just sabotage the entire website. Sadly it seems that there aren't enough people using Orgmode with SVG: this CSS bug is at least present since 2020, according to git logs. Rendering SVG images is also painfully slow: I can export the document as PDF much faster than as HTML+SVG. Then there is the alignment issue. > @me.com Unrelated but I think its best to not use Apple dis-services: it has a record of kowtowing to government requests such as moving email account to surveillance-friendly regimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICloud#China Not to mention its utter contempt of Software Freedom such as forbidding GNU GPL on their program distribution platform. -- Yuchen Guo
