$$The\ MathJax\ Sandbox$$
It's occasionally difficult to figure out if your MathJax will work in a post, even if it works/doesn't work in the preview. Also, sometimes you want to experiment with stuff that you might use in a puzzle. So... it's always good to have a sandbox. This is primarily for testing $MathJax$, but other formatting tests are also acceptable.
Please try to avoid stuff that will crash people's browsers, okay? Thanks :)

MathJax incidentals (copied from @humn)
If you use MathJax-modifying commands such as
$\texttt{\def}$ or $\texttt{\let}$ or $\texttt{\newcommand}$
please keep modifications from leaking to other posts by using
$\texttt{\begingroup} \raise1.7ex\strut$ and $\texttt{\endgroup}$.
The following template is good for this:
$\require{begingroup} \begingroup \def\safeMathJax{\text{\endgroup error}}$ [Answer that includes MathJax code with \def or \let or \newcommand] $\endgroup \safeMathJax$
If all goes well, the answer will end with
(as at the end of this post):
$\kern2em\bbox[mistyrose]{\color{red}{\text{\safeMathJax}}} \raise-.8ex\strut$
If
$\texttt{\endgroup}$ is not used successfully,
the template is meant to show:
$~~\text{\endgroup error} \raise-.8ex\strut$
Before posting an answer, be sure to test it
on a freshly loaded browser page.
Might also need to reload the page while editing,
as inadvertent indiscretions in one edit
can pervert MathJax results during later edits.
