No problem Michal. I compiled this one file using svg mode and it works fine.
svg always works. I would use it all the time, except it is slower
than using mathjax and generates much larger size build.

But I wonder, there must be a way to tell mathjax not to look
inside verbatim in HTML. Even HTML itself has verbatim environment:

================================
<pre><![CDATA[
This is a demo, tags like <p> will
appear literally.
]]></pre>
==========================

If Mathjax tries to look at each byte in the HTML page regardless of where
this byte is and tries to interpret it as mathematics, this for me
is a very strange way to do it.

But I am OK now. This was just one old file I was compiling.
