cayley_table display formatting incorrect

[cir...@gmail.com]

When I display a Cayley table in a notebook with the Typeset checkbox checked, the table displays certain latex commands rather than using them as formatting. Works fine without the Typeset checkbox.

This happens with the Firefox, Chromium, and Vivaldi browsers. I built Sage on my machine by pulling the latest code from the git repository. I'm running on Linux Mint 18 64-bit.

I didn't find this in Trac or sage-devel, but surely someone else has seen this before?

IMHO  MathJax does not support \mutilcolumn. (the previous incarnation of formula display stuff, what was it called, did work, I suppose)

I think you're right. I used my browser developer tools to get the latex source for the table from the screen, and pasted that into a simple latex document in Texmaker. The table displayed without any problem.

I found one entry in the MathJax Users forum that claims MathJax does not support multicolumn and that HTML tables should be used instead. The latex "tabular" environment might work, however, though I'm not sure that supports everything that needs to be done. Another alternative would be to use plain HTML for the table.

I'm going to research these options a bit. If no one comes up with anything else in the next few days I'll go ahead and enter a new ticket for this issue.
