Another option which does not use CSS is to do an init file to replace
the function formatting @math. The following code in the init file
should return the argument without formatting if HTML_MATH is not
mathjax:
sub my_convert_math_command$$$$)
{
my $self = shift;
my $cmdname = shift;
my $command = shift;
my $args = shift;
my $arg = $args->[0]->{'normal'};
my $math_type = $self->get_conf('HTML_MATH');
if ($math_type and $math_type eq 'mathjax') {
$self->register_file_information('mathjax', 1);
return $self->html_attribute_class('em', [$cmdname, 'tex2jax_process'])
.">\\($arg\\)</em>";
}
#return $self->html_attribute_class('em', [$cmdname]).">$arg</em>";
return $arg;
}
texinfo_register_command_formatting('math', \&my_convert_math_command);
1;
