It would be nice if Wikipedia could render formulas either aligned to the left with certain indentation, or centered, as in most mathematical books, based on user preferences. It could be achieved in at least two ways: * Simply match paragraphs of the form ``:* <math>.*</math>'' and ``<center><math>.*</math></center>'', disregard specified alignment and format according to user preferences. * Provide an additional tag that would declare a formula standing on its own. This has the advantage of added possibility of specifying formula index, but would require editing a huge number of pages for the change to take effect.
You can achieve this fairly trivially with CSS: dl > dd > img.tex { display:block; margin:0 auto; padding-right:1em; } where the padding is to compensate for the indentation of the dl and ensure the formula is properly centered. Gonna WONTFIX this as it's been inactive for over five years, given the solution above. It's clearly not popular enough to need implementing internally.
