Improve Math display in on-line Mathematica help documentation?

Posted 8 years ago

I noticed recently, that Mathematica on-line documentation (on the web) is becoming hard to read. The Math looks terrible. Blurry and fussy. I do not remember this used to be the case before. I really did not expect this at Wolfram web sites.

When going to any help page on the web, which has math, the math seems to use low quality png images. Here is an example below.

If images must be used, I suggest to use SVG for math images. SVG is vector graphics and provides higher quality math.

I thought it had something to do with retina displays (Macs and iOS). The graphics for the desktop version have been re-rendered at some point -- they used to be blurry as well.

They are GIFs rather than MathJax. And presumably the Gif generation is substandard suddenly for some reason. They should be MatJax, I feel, at least for those cases that support it.
