Not sure if this should be a bug for the MathJax plugin, but when you add a MathJax expression to a poll, it won’t be rendered correctly (MathJax renders properly in topics body and it also works in the poll preview panel, see screenshot below).

A live repro is at [Just a random math exercise - 6/17/2025 (even harder!!)](https://ascension.forum/t/just-a-random-math-exercise-6-17-2025-even-harder/140)
