GitHub does not render LaTeX in Markdown. Work around? #422

Closed admercs closed 5 years ago

admercs commented 5 years ago

What is the problem?

GitHub does not render LaTeX in Markdown. Will this package implement a workaround? I noticed that other packages have such.

How can I reproduce it?

Put a Markdown file containing LaTeX on GitHub.

Is there any error message in the console?

No.

To my knowledge, GitHub Flavored Markdown doesn't support math and there is no good workaround. (And I don't think there is any vscode extension can resolve that.)

A browser extension might help. I haven't checked.

The TeXify app can supposedly solve it for GitHub: https://github.com/apps/texify. There are also tools for VS Code, e.g.: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=goessner.mdmath. Basically, I believe the latter exports to HTML.

If you accept HTML format, this extension also has a "print to HTML" command (then math should work well in the exported HTML).

Thank you!
