As I wrote: it sometimes work if you are lucky. And people are lazy and so often try their luck and leave of the braces. And then they complain when it doesn't work after some change or when using another engine or workflow. But the rule is: use braces unless you are very, very sure, that you know it works, and that is will continue to work, even if commands are changed internally. Which basically means you should only leave them out for stuff like x^2.

Re: [tex4ht] [bug #481] Problem with Braces / Brackets in Maths equations using mk4ht latex->mathml
Hi Nasser,
After changing the command and adding "mathml", now some
of my latex files no longer compile.
Please see this MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$n^\text{th}$
\end{document}
THe above used to compile OK using
make4ht filename.tex "mathjax,htm"
But now using
make4ht filename.tex "mathml,mathjax,htm"
it gives error
I can confirm this issue. BTW, you will get this error even without the
"mathml" option. It is a know issue, see:
https://tug.org/tex4ht/doc/mml.html
Quoting:
Missing grouping for subscripts and suprscripts, such as
‘A_\mathit{...}’ instead of ‘A_{\mathit{...}}’. (LaTeX allows indirect
access to the content of the operands; TeX4ht requires direct access.)
So the correct way is "$n^{\text{th}}$". I know that your files are
automatically generated so it is not something easilly solvable.
You will not get this error with "mathjax" option, without "mathml", so
you may want to stick to it.
Best regards,
Michal

$n^\text{th}$ is wrong, unsupported syntax. It works (sometimes) but only by
chance. The correct latex input if you have more than one token in a
superscript or subscript is to add additional braces:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$n^{\text{th}}$
\end{document}
With them your example compiles.
I see. But I did not not write this latex. It seems to work OK in mathjax.
This is how the latex came from a Mathematica newsletter which is emailed each
week.
Which I tried to compile. The original message itself which had this latex in
it this
one:
https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/154944/finding-n-textth-largest-smallest-element
Viewing the page source, it shows
=
list manipulation - Finding $n^\text{th}$ largest/smallest element -
Mathematica Stack Exchange
===
It is the title of the above message.
This is how the latex came in email to me from stackexchange.
But I corrected it now. It used to compile OK before using mathml.
Best,
--Nasser

There is no change in regards to .htm files, you can still use
make4ht filename.tex "mathml,mathjax,htm"
to get .htm files. The change is just in the mathml.4ht file, it should
now render brackets correctly in most cases.
