MathML isn't fully supported (on Chrome or Edge), but there is partial support on WebKit and Firefox. There are some polyfills:

We'd need to add a syntax for including these, but it could be as simple as just segmenting it as a block escape format with embedded a MathML syntax.

Another option seems to be MathJAX, which seems pretty well supported:

I've seen MathJAX support, it does seem to go well. It is unfortunate that GitHub doesn't seem to support any.

I know for the knd of mathiness I desire, MathJAX would be great. I think it can be targetted/escaped-into with the usual \$ ... \$ bracketing in-line, with LaTeXy formula expressions. It may create more client-side load and I don't know how that will work inside of responsive pages and small-surface devices.
