I'd rather that they supported a standard like MathML or LaTeX.

There was someone working on LaTeX support a few years ago, but iirc it was very difficult to secure it enough to feel comfortable letting it run server-side for rendering. Source: I worked there when they were working on it.
What about client side rendering via MathJax? You could have your LaTeX code embedded in your markdown and MathJax could substitute it for appropriately rendered symbols as necessary.
