Allow inline latex, and make it easy to use #971

I couldn't find a way to insert inline latex math.

Adding math with the wysiwyg editor inserts a <EmbeddedMathJax content="\[e=mc^2\]" />. This is nonstandard and quite hostile.

Could we instead do this? (I suggest Katex rather than Mathjax since it's faster.)

Yeah, we did a solution with using the embedded JSX for math because mdx editor we use doesn't have a latex plugin and adding it would take more time to implement. But makes sense to do a proper implementation now.
