I realize this is more work to implement because then you can't treat each equation separately anymore. So almost as good would be to implement \hfill (doesn't seem to be at the moment), because then I could do something like $$\hfill a=b+c \hfill (1)$$ and keep track of my own numbering. Or if I could specify that I want left flushed equations, so I could do something like $$(1)\ \ \ \ a=b+c$$

It appears that numbered equations are available in MathJax 2.0:
http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html
I have a ticket for updating to MathJax 2.0 for the next release:
https://github.com/mgalloy/idldoc/issues/68
That said, I'm not sure how the numbering would be integrated into
IDLdoc since it is a option in the MathJax configuration file. If you
have thoughts, please add comments to the GitHub issue.
