How to mix html tags and KaTex in the same line

[hankatola]

Is it possible in any way to have Joplin render KaTeX on the same line as an html element, i.e.

Trying this

<span>HTML</span>  and  $\alpha$ in the same line!

Renders as this

HTML and $\alpha$ in the same line!

But I want this

HTML and α in the same line!

Is there a way to achieve this in the app today?
FWIW: v2.9.17 (prod, linux)

Try

Some <span>HTML</span> and $\TeX$.

(Don't start the line with an HTML tag).

Edit: <span>HTML</span> and $\alpha$ in the same line works for me (2.9.17, Linux). What is the surrounding context in the note?

Thanks - not starting with an HTML tag resolved it as it was. I wasn't sure if it was possible but it is! Can duplicate issue with

<div> <!-- No empty line between <div> and <span> -->
<span>HTML</span> text $\TeX$
</div>

But this works for me as well - appreciate the second set of eyes!

<div> <!-- Empty line below -->

<span>HTML</span> text $\TeX$
</div>
