Description
As we know, MacDown can render math equations by [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/). However, numbering of equations is not supported by default.
One hack way suggested by TP is to add the following code at the beginning of the Markdown document:
``` html
MathJax.Hub.Config({
TeX: { equationNumbers: { autoNumber: "AMS" } }
});
```
But it's better if we can configure that in the preference pane.

Research direction
Start by locating the MathJax configuration and the macOS preference pane. Check how the embedded equation-rendering settings are passed to MathJax, then determine how a preference for equation numbering should be represented. Done means the preference controls numbering without requiring a script in each Markdown document.
