LaTeX inline rendering now also broken in DT 4.2

Meanwhile, while the DT Team is working on a fix for this issue, I found this interim solution just last night:

Deactivate DT’s own MathJax support in the settings
Create a new text file called, e.g., DT_java.js (you can simply use textedit for this) and insert and save the following content:

window.MathJax = {
  tex2jax: {
    inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],
    processEscapes: true
  },
  jax: ["input/TeX","input/MathML","input/AsciiMath","output/CommonHTML"],
  extensions: [
    "tex2jax.js",
    "mml2jax.js",
    "asciimath2jax.js",
    "MathMenu.js",
    "MathZoom.js",
    "AssistiveMML.js",
    "[Contrib]/a11y/accessibility-menu.js"
  ],
  TeX: {
    extensions: ["AMSmath.js","AMSsymbols.js","noErrors.js","noUndefined.js"],
    equationNumbers: {
      autoNumber: "AMS"
    }
  }
};

var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.0/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_CHTML";
document.head.appendChild(script);

Back in DT’s settings, choose this newly created file in the “JavaScript” section (it’s in tab “Files” ⟶ “Markdown”)

This bypasses the current broken rendering and the inline LaTeX display using “$” works again when there is more than one LaTeX command on a single line:

This worked for mit in DT Pro 4.2.2. Unfortunately, this solution does not work on DTTG; I tried with different variation and mathjax version.
