In the example at https://plot.ly/javascript/LaTeX/ when hovering over the plotted points, the graph shows latex code instead of rendered math text.

    Yep, thanks for reporting. This has been a bug ever since we added support for MathJax more than two years ago.

    It might worthwhile to look into swapping MathJax for KaTeX.

    @etpinard has any testing been done on moving to KaTeX?

    @spencerlyon2 No. This is not a high priority for us at the moment,

    The following page could be helpful for comparing MathJax v3 and KaTeX:

    From my browser, it look like this, maybe escape sequence prefix is needed, for example '\\alpha'
    instead of '\alpha'

    on Chrome

    Also, I find that on firefox, the legend size is not correct. (Maybe I should open another issue.)
