On an online tutorial page using `MathJax`, how would we tell students: Type \[x^2+1\] to display

Bill,

I need to display the entire expression (including delimiters) as a text on an HTML page that is using MathJax.

I find your link still helpful in some respect. Thanks..Nam

That can be done if one uses <code> instead of <kbd>, since, as found at the link given by Peter, <code> is a MathJax-free container.  I've updated the example I gave previously:
