title: MathJax extension on Joomla HTML making parenthesis italic or emphasized text
body: <p>I am creating a <a href="http://simpleai.it/it/style-your-website.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">website</a> on Joomla, I am using HTML to write an article. Because I needed to write Maths stuff, I googled a little bit how to use LaTex on HTML. I encountered this: <a href="https://github.com/widgetfactory/wf-mathjax" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/widgetfactory/wf-mathjax</a></p>
  
  <p>Which is a Joomla extension (written in PHP). I've installed it and then tried using standard mathematics stuff, such as $a = b + c$ and it worked! The issue though, is that now if I just type </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This text is (in parenthesis) but it doesn't work. &lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then instead of having "This text is in (parenthesis) but it doesn't work", I get:</p>
  
  <p>"This text is <em>in parenthesis</em> but it doesn't work."</p>
  
  <p><strong>How to reproduce my error:</strong></p>
  
  <p>If you follow the link to my website, after the main image you'll see:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GjEaM.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GjEaM.png" alt="mathjax"></a></p>
  
  <p>where my HTML code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;Header 1&lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;Header 2&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This text uses normal (parenthesis)&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This text uses ASCII &amp;#40; parenthesis &amp;#x29;. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This is a list of stuff in parethesis (one two three four) and it doesn't work.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt; This is some inline math $a = b+c$&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
