Hi Nasser, this is the same issue we faced not that long ago. It was just necessary to add \fixmathjaxtoc\ln to the sources, which I did. So it should be available soon in TL 2020.

When using mathjax mode in tex4ht, it fails to render section title which contain $\ln$ but works for all other symbols I tried so far.

What is so special about $\ln$ ?

MWE
===================
\documentclass[11pt]{article}%

\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
This is a document

\section{$\int \arcsin(x) \ln x \,dx$}
test

\section{$\int \arcsin(x) \sqrt x \,dx$}
test

\section{$\int \arcsin(x) \sin x \,dx$}

\end{document}
=====================

It must be compiled as follows to see the problem

make4ht -ulm default foo.tex "htm,1,mathjax"

In the above, the split level is 1. Anything more than 0 is needed to show the problem.

Now the HTML looks like this (please see link above. Do not know how to add graphics here)

Not using mathjax mode with tex4ht also solves the problem.

Here is the raw HTML generated. Notice that \qopname \relax o{ln}x is generated by tex4ht before mathjax does anything.
