Hello,
Thank you for your great work! The set of features provided by Quarto is very impressive!
We are converting a math heavy website from Jekyll to Quarto, and are surprised to learn that Quarto doesn't support server-side math rendering.
Would it be possible to consider adding this feature?
Both MathJax and KaTeX support server-side rendering for many years now, so hopefully this will not be too complicated to achieve. Another idea could be perhaps using pandoc to parse LaTeX directly.
Thank you in advance for your reply!

Research direction
Start by reading the linked discussion and comparing the stated server-side rendering options: MathJax, KaTeX, and Pandoc parsing of LaTeX. Define the rendering scope and integration point before implementation; done means Quarto can produce server-rendered math for the math-heavy website described in the issue.
