I've had a couple rejected edits dealing with converting math->MathJax. I think I'm starting to see why. On the suggested edit form that reviewers see, the MathJax doesn't convert to the final form. So what we should see as$$\mathbf{F}=-k\frac{\sqrt{|e_1e_2|}\text{sgn}(e_1)\text{sgn}(e_2)}{r^2}\mathbf{u}_r$$

The reviewers see as:

 $$\mathbf{F}=-k\frac{\sqrt{|e_1e_2|}\text{sgn}(e_1)\text{sgn}(e_2)}{r^2}\mathbf{u}_r$$

Which is the exact same thing: only not converted into the nice symbols but in the raw, ugly code text. So, although you would approve an edit that converted messy, un-MathJaxed math to $$\mathbf{F}=-k\frac{\sqrt{|e_1e_2|}\text{sgn}(e_1)\text{sgn}(e_2)}{r^2}\mathbf{u}_r$$, you wouldn't approve an edit that looked like this:

 $$\mathbf{F}=-k\frac{\sqrt{|e_1e_2|}\text{sgn}(e_1)\text{sgn}(e_2)}{r^2}\mathbf{u}_r$$

I think this needs to be fixed. I'm not a reviewer myself, but I can sympathize with them: I wouldn't approve this edit if it looked like that (doesn't improve readability.) And even if they did know what proper MathJax/LaTeX looks like, would you really want to carefully read through so many lines of code? It's gotten to the point where whenever I put math into MathJax as a suggested edit, I include the line:

"Changed the math to MathJax. Please only reroll this edit if you look at what the MathJax looks like in proper format. On the base format, it looks like a lot of messing with $'s and 's."

So this needs to be fixed. I'm hoping there's some way to implement the finished code into the writing for the review ques for suggested edits: that's why I'm tagging this feature-request. In any case, I think it's important to raise awareness about this issue, especially for people who edit often and for users who review edits: so that everyone knows that this is proper format, and can see what it will look like when approved. Are there any ways to spread awareness/fix this issue? I've also seen this post dealing with this issue that I think is relevant.

Also: Is this a big enough question to be moved to the main Meta site?

I borrowed this following equation from this question.

So what we should see as$$\mathbf{F}=-k\frac{\sqrt{|e_1e_2|}\text{sgn}(e_1)\text{sgn}(e_2)}{r^2}\mathbf{u}_r$$

The reviewers see as:

I think this needs to be fixed. I'm not a reviewer myself, but I can sympathize with them: I wouldn't approve this edit if it looked like that (doesn't improve readability.)It takes time to read through MathJax/LaTeX code to ensure that it's okay. It's gotten to the point where whenever I put math into MathJax as a suggested edit, I include this line for my edit summary:

"Changed the math to MathJax. Please only reroll this edit if you look at what the MathJax looks like in proper format. On the base format, it looks like a lot of messing with $'s and 's."

Also: Should there be another post (more generalized about rendering MathJax in pending edits) on the main Meta Stack Exchange?
