I want to show formulas in a table cell using MathML. Since HTML-Code is getting rendered I thought MathML must work, but it does not. Did I make a mistake?
I am looking for a way to write complex formulas (e.g. calculus). Do you know a better approach or is there a way to enable MathML?
Have you checked if there are some MathML plugins that could generate a shortcode which you can paste into a cell? I don't guarantee that'll work either, but since wpDataTables supports shortcodes in cells, it may be a possibility.
Unfortunately the issues like conflicts with third party plugins or themes are always possible due to the nature of WP.
Also, please note that MathML is currently supported only on Firefox browsers, so I don't know how useful it'd be even if we somehow got it to display in our tables. Here's an example in Chrome:
thank you for your idea. I had a few tries, the most promising with the plugin "Schortcoder". It does render MathML in my article, but unfortunately not inside the WP-Table on the same page. We are using the tables only inside our organisation, everybody is using the same browser (e.g. firefox) - so MathML would do the trick.
I will have further tries. If any other idea to integrate formulas pops into your mind (or anybody else's) I would be very greatful! Thanks Timo

Hello raekertim.
Thank you for your purchase.
I am sorry, but we haven't tried using MathML in wpDataTables, but from a brief test, it looks like it can't be used in the tables.
I've tried the simplest equation example, but unfortunately it didn't work:
