Describe the bug

Inline math for MathJax seems to be broken after version 7.

Steps To Reproduce

This can be seen even on the official website.

On a refresh which clears the cache, MathJax works as expected. But if doing a normal reload, inline math is broken.

If we disable caching, MathJax seems to work, so it is likely due to caching issues.

Expected Behavior

MathJax should work, even if the page is refreshed. Seems to work on sites using jekyll-theme-chirpy < 7.

Environment

  • Ruby: ruby 3.4.1 (2024-12-25 revision 48d4efcb85) +PRISM [arm64-darwin24]
