[BlindMath] disabling math ML in place of LaTex

[Zach]

I believe the equations in Wikipedia are generated with, or in accordance
with, or some form thereof with MathJax. MathJax is a JavaScript display
engine for mathematics that works in all browsers, but is kind of confusing
at first. https://www.mathjax.org/ I find I have to press enter to open the
equation, then I can navigate by element with the left and right arrows.
Using up or down arrow allows you to expand an element, say exponents, or
values enclosed in parenthesis, or logarithms. Hitting escape exits out of
equation navigation. I'm using JAWS 17.0 and haven't had to install any
plug-ins to use MathJax in IE.

Hi there Tyler et al.,
This won't be of much help, but I'm wondering about math on Wikipedia
myself, although I'm still only semi-literate with LaTex. I've found that
with JAWS, Math Player,  and Firefox I can get easier access to what I
assume to be Math ML math formulae by pressing enter on equations I see--I'm
not sure if the instances of this were specially marked up or what. Is math
ML particularly prone to displaying in an odd manor? Browsers can switch
between Math ML and LaTex--can't they?
I and many of my colleagues in Environmental science don't seem to have the
pressing need to know LaTex, and thus I've not been directly instructed;
thus I've found web content to be often difficult, but I am still a
greenhorn when it comes to dealing with this biz in smart tactical fashion.
Best,
Trevor

all:

I'm having a bit of an irritating issue.

I use Wikpedia for all kinds of stuff and most of the time there are
formulas that I want to use/look at, but can't. Previously I'd just read the
LaTex on wikipedia, which was sometimes messy but doable. Now instead of
LaTex I'm getting this god awful math ML thing where it chunks the entire
formula into one cell. By that I mean you right arrow once and get space and
right arrow again and you get the whole thing.
There's no copypaste or anything. I don't know where this rendering is
taking place, but it's always been irritating anyway because it does so much
weird translation. Does anyone know if there's a way to disable this and
just go back to good old LaTex?

Thanks,
