LATEX expressions support in README.md ?

[LPerdu]

Hi,

I believe that having GitHub rendering LATEX expressions in README.md files would be a really nice feature to add, especially for the scientific community.

It would be much cleaner than all the current workarounds such as including these expressions as images.

I think that GitLab is already supporting LATEX in its md files.

Have you planned to consider it someday ?

Cheers

GitLab has a much more sophisticated feature set than GitHub. It can even generate flowcharts using mermaid. Hopefully, GitHub catches up soon. Latex in README.md files would be super useful.

Unrelated Edit: seems like GitHub is working on mermaid support.

Hi @LPerdu and @AnimeAllstar. Mermaid support was released today. It's definitely important for GitHub to support LaTeX expressions. We're in the middle of investigation that will determine how soon we can support it.
