Thank you for sharing your experience.

Note that out of the box, XMLmind XML Editor (and more precisely 
software component XMLmind DITA Converter, 
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/) supports MathJax when converting *DITA* 
documents to any of the HTML based output formats.

See XSLT stylesheet parameters:

mathjax, 
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__I_uorpwq_

mathjax-url, 
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__I_uorpwq_

See sample output: 
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp3/media.html#media__mathml

On the other hand, out of the box, MathJax is *not* supported when 
converting *DocBook* documents to  any of the HTML based output formats.

Out of the box, XXE, will extract all MathML elements embedded in the 
DocBook document, save these to temporary ".mml" files and convert these 
".mml" files to SVG files by the means of the "JEuclid image toolkit 
plug-in" add-on, 
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons_doc.html#jeuclid_imagetoolkit 
(which is installed by default).

There are of course ways to add MathJax support to DocBook to HTML 
conversion but this would require modifying 
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook51/docbook51_convert_input.incl
