Hi there! Does this still happen with the alphas? Some heavy work has been done on mathjax between 2.14 and the 2.15alpha series - https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases

Both Google Play Version and the latest alpha version have this problem.

The issue seems to be that some HTML creeps into the Mathjax code. But only AndiDroid has an issue with this. The desktop version of Anki displays the matrices with no problem.

One way to avoid HTML creeping into Mathjax code is to drop into the "HTML Editor View (ctrl+shift+x)" and type in the Mathjax code.

Since deviant behavior from the desktop version is considered a bug in AnkiDroid am I leaving the issue open.

Very interesting - yes this should be addressed, and that's good info re: html creeping in / workaround - thank you
