 * Hello there, first of all thanks for your plug-in. Since some days I am experiencing
   problems with rendering on brackets (both with simultaneous equations and overbrace/
   underbrace commands).
    I have wordpress version 5.9.2 and I am using Google Chrome
   Version 99.0.4844.51. Brackets are split into different pieces. Zooming in-out
   pages seems to change things (on some cases split brackets look better with some
   zoom factor). On previous versions of WordPress things worked ok. Maybe an incompatibility
   of Mathjax itself with the latest WordPress? Can I fix it in any way by configuring
   the plug-in? Anyway I tried older versions of the CDN library, but with no luck.
   Thank you very much for any help. Bye!

 * Hello there, fixed the issue by downgrading to version 2 of Mathjax. So it’s 
   an issue of MathJax V3, nothing to do with your plug-in.
    I had a custom configuration
   code for version 3 to include the cancel package, that prevented me to successfully
   downgrade to version 2 until now. Didn’t rewrite code for version 2, simply put
   an \require{cancel} in the preamble. I’ll have to tell the Mathjax development
   team about the problem I guess. Bye and again, thanks for your work!

 * It’s good to hear you found a workaround (though I personally wouldn’t recommend
   MathJax v2 at this point).
 * If you can create a reproducible sample, I’m sure the MathJax team would appreciate
   hearing about the bug at [https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/).
 * Thanks again for updating the thread.
    Peter.

 * Hello there, you’re welcome.
    Just opened an issue: [https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/2853](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/2853)
   Let’s hope they’ll fix the problem as version 2 if slower than 3. Bye!

 * Hello, I got help from the Mathjax team, and I was able to fix the issue by switching
   to SVG output – Mathjax version 3. So my site is now back with the latest version
   of Mathjax up and running.
    Here’s the library to use for SVG output: //cdn.jsdelivr.
   net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-svg.js Hope this info may be of help to others. Many
   thanks for telling me where to get help – and again thanks for your plug-in too.
   🙂
