[tex4ht] Problem using mjcli on Cygwin

[Michal Hoftich]

Dear Francis,

ah I see. It seems that I was wrong, mjcli uses MathML by default. When 
you use the "mathjax" option, it uses the LaTeX math syntax for the 
command line MathJax, but it doesn't remove the MathJax <script> element 
from the HTML file. You can remove the MathJax <script> using following 
.mk4 build file:

--------------------------------------
local domfilter = require "make4ht-domfilter"

local process = domfilter {
   function(dom)
     for _, el in ipairs(dom:query_selector("#MathJax-script")) do
       el:remove_node()
     end
     return dom
   end
}

Make:match("html$", process)
------------------------------------

Then there is the issue with MathML. It seems that there is an issue 
with the LaTeX to MathML conversion in your case, so several things 
fail.

First, make4ht process MathML and fixes some common issues. It fails, as 
it reports the issue "Unbalanced Tag (/mstyle)". I suppose that the 
mjcli error is caused by the invalid MathML too.

Could you try to make a MWE that runs into this issue? As I said, there 
can be some issues that need to be fixed in the LaTeX source in the 
worst cases.

Best regards,
Michal

The maths all looks slightly bigger, some brackets are too tall, and the calligraphic font looks very different. In fact, I'm wondering whether the browser is picking up the wrong font files. I haven't investigated further yet.
