On at least some¹ MathJax-enabled websites, in a comment² with a MathJax sequence immediately followed by a / or + (but not a space or a -), a subsequent [text](url) is mishandled if followed by another MathJax sequence.

For $\LaTeX$/MathJax see [this](https://crypto.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1070/555). $n=1$.

and variations yield (with Firefox):

Example of the issue

This is visible here, used as a testbed.

It happened in this comment, where I ended up using the space workaround.


¹ Likely those using $ to introduce MathJax sequences, not those using \$, see comment.

² This does not happen in an answer.
