If you pass the `-m` (`--asciimathml`) option to `pandoc`, it will

Pandoc can use the [ASCIIMathML] script to display LaTeX formulas
in HTML (at least on better browsers). See above on the
`-m|--asciimathml` command-line option.

more efficient to link to an external copy of `ASCIIMathML.js`

create a custom header for your web page that includes the line
