      • Go to a course (create an empty one if needed)
      • Create a "page" resource
      • In the "Page content" field, enter: 

          $x^2$

      • Click "Save and display"
      • VERIFY: The page content is rendered as "x²" (x squared).

      (Incorrect behaviour without the patch: the page content is rendered as "0".)

    Description

      I'll try to keep this one short. On current master, when the Mathjax filter is used with "additional delimiters", it will break text output and return only "0" instead of the text to be filtered.

      This is a regression of MDL-55007. The change uses "plus" as string concatenation operator in moodle/filter/mathjaxloader/filter.php, line 164. Evidently, it should be "dot" .

      Patch to follow.
