Can we have MathJax rendering?

It's how StackExchange and a bunch of other places render TeX mathematics formulas.
At least over in D&D there are times (like our current [Science!] thread) when it would be really really great to be able to show a properly formed equations and not try to make it work with regular characters.
MathJax is entirely clientside, so the only thing needed is to let the forums load it and set a configuration parameter for the types of text it should recognize.

If we offer a plugin on our hosted platform, we are promising that it will/should work. If it stops working we're on the hook not the author. If it stops being maintained we have to start maintaining it. Not to mention the fact that we have to ensure that the code is safe for our servers (and our customers' data, by extension).
So its not even nearly as simple as just "well Vanilla is FOSS so wtf?"
$$(
\left [ - \frac{\hbar^2}{2 m} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + V \right ] \Psi
= i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \Psi
)$$
The syntax has 2 methods: inline and block
Inline
This is when you want some sweet math symbols mixed in with regular text in a sentence.
Start your sentence, then use "$(" and ")$" to wrap your mathematical whimsy.
Block
Use this format when you want to write a whole bundle of math and you don't to sprinkle it with regular text.
Start with "$$(", then go to the next line and start your TeX code. When you're done, put a closing ")$$" on its own line at the end.
$$( \left [ - \frac{\hbar^2}{2 m} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + V \right ] \Psi = i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \Psi )$$edit: cool it didn't get parsed!
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
(Can we get preview support?)
Can I have a pony?
Not @Pony , but just a regular pony?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Maybe even 3 cool?

Turns out now there's some styling issue, all expressions (as seen in this thread) seem to get a vertical black bar to the right of them.

all I can say is I do see it
edit: or maybe not. I dunno. But switching to SVG rendering fixed it.
