* mathjax is not compatible with text browsers.
Not a bug, working as designed.
Also broken design as there is no correct fallback for text browsers.
This is an important point for developers, in particular because
manuals may be on a remote machine accessed via ssh.
Arguably, this (having only a text terminal for reading the manual)
is the use case for Info.
The user may want to choose the HTML version for various reasons.
* Is there a way to follow web links (those declared with @url)
with Info?
For the case of a remote session, this is easy: select and paste the
URL into a local browser.
* Is there a way to open different tabs with the Info reader?
(FYI, w3m can, using the HTML version.)
* Web browsers typically have bookmarks. This doesn't seem to be
the case with the Info reader.
These do seem to be limitations of the current implementation.
