Oh, you’re right. I think I know why. Someone wants to use an really ancient

I had a look at the maxima source code, and indeed, you can either use
texi2any mathjax support or do it yourself, with m4 substitutions. For
some reason, in configure.ac, 6.8 is included in the platforms where you
set MathJax by yourself:
Thank you for going above and beyond and looking into this! I’ve
forgotten a lot of the details and didn’t have a chance to look at the
history.
dnl If the makeinfo version is older than or equal to 6.8, we

need_mathjax=false
if test ${makeinfo_version} -le 608; then
need_mathjax=true

So starting with 7.0, your build system is set such that to use the
regular tex2any MathJax support. In that case, the m4 code generates
@math and @displaymath.
I actually checked a build with texinfo 7.1 and it looks fine and the
'regular' MathJax support is used. I also tested adding the tex options
block I propose and saw no visible difference.
So, for your use, the new options should work.
Thanks again for taking the time to verify the new options don’t impact
Maxima’s manual!
