The mathblock Confluence macro is converted to the mathjax macro which requires MathJax Macro.

What to use in XWiki

How this macro would be implemented in XWiki and comparison with the corresponding feature

Details on how (well) this Confluence macro is imported

The mathblock, mathinline and unit macros are currently all converted using the same converter.

No parameter is returned. The content is converted as follows.

If the content starts with --uriencoded--, that part is removed, + signs are replaced with %2B, and the result is then URL-decoded.

Then, "{{/" is replaced with "{{ /". This prevents any clash with the XWiki syntax to close the mathjax macro.

Then, for inline macros (mathinline and unit), the content is returned surrounded with "\(" and "\)" and the conversion is done.

Then, if an anchor parameter is present:

if the content doesn't start with \begin, the content is surrounded with \begin{aligned} and \end{aligned}
a \label{anchor} line is inserted right after the \begin line (where anchor is the anchor parameter value).
