How do I insert an equation in a footnote in Pages

I want to insert an equation (in MathML) in a footnote, but while the rest of the text in the footnote is OK, the equation gets deleted.

Any help?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

The Pages 7.0 equation editor is only supported within the document body text. Pages 7.0 lacks the ability to parse, and image TeX/LaTeX/MathML equations that are free form in any part of the document. You cannot drag/drop a PDF of the equation into the footnote area at the bottom of the page either.

LibreOffice Writer 6.0.3 will allow you to insert an equation into a footnote. Tested.
