::::::::: Safari and Chrome are not two ''entirely'' separate engines; WebKit is an open source browser engine for rendering web pages that is used in Safari and it had been used in Chrome, but Google currently incorporates (I don't know the date) a WebKit fork/offshoot of WebKit with software named "Blink", so there is some commonality of code, of which and how much, I do not know. I don't know enough about Wiki's software pre-processor or even where to find/view the output of same, let alone make a careful study of its output, nor would I suggest that someone study that as a means of resolving a problem (or trying to find out the location of where the problem is). That is way beyond my capabilities and time availabilities. Since I don't see the non-rendering (the "invisibility" that you see) with the web-browsers that I have installed), it wouldn't behoove me or Rosetta Code to make further changes in removing whitespace in specific areas as I can't see the results (the failures) that you're seeing with your browsers). I don't believe that I introduced (even unwittingly) a problem, but as I see it, you most likely have uncovered a problem in the way LaTeX is rendering whitespace in the browser(s) that you're using. I'll never accuse anyone of introducing a problem just because my browser fails in handling (rendering) whitespace. I've been web-searching for Chrome's (rendering of LaTeX and other stuff) problems, and there seems to be enough discussion on issues related to these types of issues. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:53, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: That evidence might be inadequate, or not conclusive, and maybe even superficial, but it's not zero, either. Meanwhile, the mechanism for working around the problem (adding space or deleting space and - generally speaking - reverting to older versions) seems ad hoc (which probably means we do not understand what is going on well enough to be drawing conclusions yet).
:::::::::: That said, I do not see any problem, yet, with using this ad-hoc mechanism to fix the rendering of math markup. If it was breaking something else significant, though, let's hear about that. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 19:00, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
