I am under the impression that you should use \
for newlines with mathjax, however I can’t get it to work. What am I doing wrong here?
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <script id="MathJax-script" async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js"></script> </head> <body> <p><span class="math display">[ 1 x x^2 \ 1 y y^2 \ 1 z z^2 \ ]</span></p> </div> </body> </html>
I expect to see 3 lines, but I get this:
Other stackoverflow posts claim that \
should work, eg: https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11720/new-line-within-mathjax

Answer
You should use HTML to break lines as MathJax only handles math mode and does not process the backslashes:
<p> <span class="math display"> (1 x x^2 )</br> (1 y y^2 )</br> (1 z z ^2 )</br> </span> </p>
