Yeah, sorry, we are currently importing your post directly as HTML. We don’t do code-injection, we figure out what the right HTML for displaying the LaTeX is server-side, and then store that directly in the HTML for the post.
The reason why it isn’t working out of the box is that we don’t support single-dollar-sign delimiters for LaTeX in HTML, because they have too many false-positives with people just trying to use dollar signs in normal contexts. Everything would actually work out by default if you used the MathJax \( and \) delimiters instead, which are much less ambiguous.
I will convert this one manually for now, not sure what the best way moving forward is. Maybe there is a way you can configure your blog to use the \( and \) delimiters instead, or maybe we can adjust our script to get better at detecting when people want to use the single-dollar-delimiter for MathJax purposes, versus other purposes.
