This should probably use the same renderer as we use for math images.
Not sure why it wouldn't do so. Haven't added a bug for this as it's not
clear to me what's going on or what needs to change.

We could request $wgAllowRealName to be enabled - then Collections could
access that for attribution where provided. Probably that's a good idea
- users don't have to provide a real name, and we should allow everyone
who wishes to do so to provide a name for attribution.
