[ARCHIVED] Did MathJax / LaTeX math equation entry stop working already?

[amorriso]

A few days ago I was testing the new equation entry method in the rich text editor and was thrilled to see how easy it was. Today I went to go edit a new page and couldn't get an equation to render.  I went back to the test page I did earlier in the week, and it is also no longer rendering the equation.  

What happened??  Bring it back, please!!!

Yes, unfortunately, it seems that Canvas had to roll back the update.  The user "James" noted in the thread here: LaTeX Support Dropped Completely Hopefully they will bring it back soon!  I've been looking forward to this for quite some time.  

Edited to add: Canvas team provided an update on the Feb 20 release notes here: Canvas-Release-Notes-2021-02-20 According to the thread New-Assignment-Student-View-Breaks-MathJax we may be able to expect an update of the status on Monday (fingers crossed).

Thanks for this!  (Not sure why I didn't see this earlier when I was searching for answers, but I appreciate that help!)
