Describe the bug

MathML is the web standard for displaying the math formula in the web page. It has been supported by almost all the modern brower. But Follow try to convert the mathml tag into the Katax which leds to the incorrectly displaying and ugly typeset. You can see the screenshot below.

I think we should keep the mathml related tags as it is. And this will make the mathml formulas be rendered directly by the browser. For example. The same article render result in Miniflux is shown below.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rendering problem with the linked feed at https://yufan.me/feed and compare the MathML output with the expected browser-rendered result described in the issue. Trace the Follow rendering path that converts MathML to KaTeX; done means MathML-related tags are preserved so the browser renders the formulas directly.
