I still think equation numbers on the left is a mistake. Ideally, for smaller screens it would split across multiple lines. Or, it could choose the positioning based on screen size. For me, MathJax can't render my equations. I use some techniques to get a vector with an arrow on the bottom. Two commands I used all throughout my thesis are: \def \rV#1{\hbox{$#1$\kern-0.38em\lower0.85em\hbox{$\vec{}\,$}}\,}
and \def \Vec#1{\hbox{$#1$\kern-1.0em\lower0.4em\hbox{${\scriptstyle \rightarrow }$}}}
These won't work in MathJax (understandably). |

C'mon, nobody deserves to be subject to automatic TeX expression breaking. Even careful hand-tuning with help from the breqn package can often look pretty bad.

At the risk of turning this into TeX StackExchange, I just want to point out that these kerning manipulations are entirely possible in MathJax. The problem is that, maddeningly, they chose to have non-math commands like kern and lower work exclusively in math mode, and not outside one like in a hbox. Therefore, if you change your second command to something like this:
then it will work in MathJax. Of course, this would then break in regular TeX because you're not supposed to use kern and lower in math mode. I keep myself sober by remaining optimistic about a potential overhaul in the MathJax latex processing code.In the meantime, I think we would benefit from a stopgap service that renders these things in an actual TeX engine running on a server into high-res PNG (easy) or SVG (doubtful). There's been quite a resurgence in effort to make latex rendering into a scaleable web service lately. I'd love to collaborate with someone from, say, ShareLaTeX on that, if possible.
