Could pick a better homepage example. The demo code doesn't render very well in MathML. Kerning on the exponents is off. In "beta^alpha" the alpha character

  You are right. I hadn’t taken a close look at that expression in chromium (it looks fine on Firefox). I think this may be a Chrome rendering issue. I know Temml does a lot more than me to make sure the expressions look right (my primary concern is that the MathML markup is correct) and even Temml has the same problem[1]. Aside, I love this expression that you landed on. The Gamma distribution is one of the reason I started writing this library 10 years ago. The way the original AsciiMath can’t have arbitrary identifiers (only texts) was a deal breaker for me. The Gamma distribution is a very nice showcase for capabilities of an authoring tool like this because the name is usually written using latin letters `Gamma` while its density function also includes the gamma function which is usually written with a greek capital gamma (Γ). In the original AsciiMath writing Gamma just gives you the greek letter. The gamma distribution is also just a very cool distribution, or rather it contains some very cool distributions (in particular the Chi-squared distribution). 1: https://temml.org/#%5Cbeta%5E%5Calpha https://temml.org/#%5Cbeta%5E%5Calpha
