multiple inline formulas in a single line doesn't render right

[quantjin]

Hello, I found this tutorial and trying to use mathjax for my own project.

I found for the latest version `2.7.1', if there're multiple inline formulas in a single line, it doesn't work sometimes.

below is from the tutorial, which renders right in math.meta.stackexchange.com

4. For superscripts and subscripts, use ^ and _. For example, `x_i^2`: $x_i^2$, `\log_2 x`: $\log_2 x$.

But when I tried the same using 2.7.1 on my own project, it doesn't work. And if I only render one of the the 2 formulas, or split it into 2 separate lines, it works fine.

This looks like a bug

There's not much to say without a live example exhibiting the problem.

If you are using Markdown, then you are running into a typical problem with markdown parsers replacing underscores with <em> which breaks math content, see http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html?highlight=markdown#tex-and-latex-in-html-documents.

@pkra , thank you for your update, i was using showdown with mathjax, which requires a custom extension, i guess the issue is with either showdown or the customer extension
