Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Typst math syntax is pretty neat and easy to learn, which makes it superior to LaTeX in a lot of cases (personally, I'm using it to make notes at university). It would be greate to have support for this for mathjax.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make it a part of the default suite (which is LaTeX, ASCIIMath and MathML) or at least make it somewhat pluggable

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context

Possible source of inspiration: https://github.com/xushengfeng/xmmath (although the code is very unreadable)

Research direction

The issue mentions MathJax's existing LaTeX, ASCIIMath, and MathML input support but names no files or tests. Start by locating those input entry points and comparing their extension boundaries. Done requires a decided path for Typst support—either inclusion in the default suite or a clearly defined pluggable design.
