Some math symbols not rendered correctly

[opusforlife2]

What's Happening?

As seen here https://overflow.smnz.de/exchange/astronomy/questions/2422/how-many-earths-fit-in-the-observable-universe, the answer has two paras. The math in the second para renders properly, but the one in the first para doesn't. They both render correctly on the original site.

Looks like a variance in latex interpretation. Katex doesn't like the \mbox. But using \space works just fine.

Not sure if fixing this is in the scope of this project since it's an external library

Oh. Might be worth it to forward this bug to them? No need to change libraries then. Since AO is designed for Stack websites, which happen to use this syntax, it does seem like an important bug to fix.

KaTeX/KaTeX#2050 mentions \mbox support, but I don't think there's a standalone issue.
