I am also having the problem when I try to use broadcast with markdown-preview-plus.

It works with the builtin markdown-preview-plus but it is just too ugly. I would realy like to get this working as I am teaching a class and this this would be a great way to share examples to the class.

This still seems to be an issue, is there any update? I'd be willing to try and fix it if anyone could point me in the right direction.

this is also an issue when trying to broadcast markdown rendered with markdown-preview-enhanced.

the package seems to work nicely with markdown-preview, but in order to be able to render markdown of maths equations to a browser, compatibility would be required with at least one of markdown-preview-plus or markdown-preview-enhanced.
