Better Latex rendering

Wikiwand is beautiful, but its Latex rendering looks even worse than wikipedia's.

I've noticed several problems:

1. The Latex fragments seem to be scaled, and so they look blurry. Also a "staircase pattern" is visible on the edges of curvy lines. Latex should be rendered to SVG or to a higher resolution, so these artifacts are not visible.

2. Inline latex is not always placed in the correct height. (see "argmax_y p(y|x,\theta)" in attached screenshot. I realize that you get an image and are not aware of the position of the equation inside the image, but I think the location of the center should be easy to estimate. e.g. Compute the median Y position of all black pixels in the image.

3. Math-mode latex (on a separate line) is not indented properly (see "f* = ..." equation in attached screenshot, where the standard practice is to indent the formula but wikiwant keeps it left-adjusted.
