Bottom line: we can't expand org-html-mathjax-options to add in MathJax's
cancel.js, etc. Yes, your first "quick-and-dirty" worked just fine. Q: How
did you know how to format #+html: \(\require{cancel}\) ? Also, how does
the org world know that we're talking about loading MathJax's cancel.js? As
you all know I'm not a "developer-class" poster here, so my questions often
look dull-witted. Will try the patch once I learn a bit more diff in Emacs
lore. . . .
