Hi all,

Today, a new Math rendering mode has been added to Wikipedia. You need a
Wikipedia account to use it. In My preferences => Appearance => Math,
choose "MathJax". Once enabled, MathJax's HTML-CSS output will be used
by default. If you want to use MathML instead, right click on a formula
and choose "Math Settings => Math Renderer => MathML".

This doesn't seem to work correctly in Firefox 10. An example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_%28mathematics%29#Excluding_the_endpoints

where I get some "amp;" and "lt;". The source shows:

<span class="tex" dir="ltr">$ \begin{align} (a,b) &amp;amp;= &amp;amp;]a,b[ &amp;amp;= \{x\in\R\,|\,a&amp;lt;x&amp;lt;b\}, \\{} [a,b) &amp;amp;= &amp;amp;[a,b[ &amp;amp;=\{x\in\R\,|\,a\le x&amp;lt;b\}, \\ (a,b] &amp;amp;= &amp;amp;]a,b] &amp;amp;= \{x\in\R\,|\,a&amp;lt;x\le b\}, \\{} [a,b] &amp;amp; &amp;amp; &amp;amp;= \{x\in\R\,|\,a\le x\le b\}. \end{align} $</span>

Yes, that's a bug in Wikimedia:
