I think that this issue is closely related to issue #4, but pages that have latex in them are returned with the formulas almost unreadable. Specifically, formulas are returned twice, once in a string representation with a lot of (seemingly) random spaces, and then in proper latex format but wrapped in {displaystyle <formula> }, instead of $<formula>$.

In functional analysis and operator theory, a bounded linear operator is a linear transformation L : X → Y {\displaystyle L:X\to Y} between topological vector spaces (TVSs) X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} that maps bounded subsets of X {\displaystyle X} to bounded subsets of Y . {\displaystyle Y.} If X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} are normed vector spaces (a special type of TVS), then L {\displaystyle L} is bounded if and only if there exists some M > 0 {\displaystyle M>0} such that for all x ∈ X , {\displaystyle x\in X,} The smallest such M {\displaystyle M} is called the operator norm of L {\displaystyle L} and denoted by ‖ L ‖ . {\displaystyle |L|.} A bounded operator between normed spaces is continuous and vice versa.The concept of a bounded linear operator has been extended from normed spaces to certain to all topological vector spaces.Outside of functional analysis, when a function f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} is called "bounded" then this usually means that its image f ( X ) {\displaystyle f(X)} is a bounded subset of its codomain.

In functional analysis and operator theory, a bounded linear operator is a linear transformation $L:X\to Y$ between topological vector spaces (TVSs) $X$ and $Y$ that maps bounded subsets of $X$ to bounded subsets of $Y.$ If $X$ and $Y$ are normed vector spaces (a special type of TVS), then $L$ is bounded if and only if there exists some $M>0$ such that for all $x\in X,$ The smallest such $M$ is called the operator norm of $L$ and denoted by $|L|.$ A bounded operator between normed spaces is continuous and vice versa.

I have made a sincere effort to get to the bottom of this, and #4, and I've made some headway. This problem seems to arise from the
explaintextflag in the PHP api request url. Interested parties can experiment for themselves, theexplaintextflag is in theprop=extractssection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=extracts&titles=Bounded_operator&redirects=1&converttitles=1&formatversion=latest&explaintext=1One option would be to not use the
explaintextflag and parse the HTML, but that would create a lot of additional parsing work for the plugin.
