PNG rendering of <math> produces "Failed to parse" errors
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Description:
Screen capture

When accessing articles with elaborate equations (presumably using more advanced TeX tokens), with PNG rendering of math, a big red error is displayed instead of the equation. Shown error is of the form:
Failed to parse(unknown function '<some token>'): { ... equation's TeX source goes here ... }
The token I often see as unknown is "\begin".

When using MathJax rendering, equations appear with no visible problems.

Issue doesn't appear to be related to browser (seen with both Firefox 26 and Internet Explorer 10).

Attached screen capture of this article, in PNG rendering mode.

While the cause for both reports may very well be the same, in #61012 the OP complained about environments "align" and "alignat" not being rendered as PNG, whereas I was being more generic.
My screen capture shows PNG rendering error for "begin" environment.

Feel free to merge the reports.

Excuse me, but whatever it is that was fixed, didn't correct the problem I was reporting about.
Try the link I included in my original report, the exact same red parsing error are shown. These are the same errors that were seen in the screen capture I included in my original report.

All the pages need to be purged or edited to force the png images to be recomputed. Running
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equations_of_motion&action=purge
has fixed that page.
