Question

As of today, LaTeX-styled maths natively supported in GitHub Markdown (comments, issues, README.md, etc) $n!!$

Answer 1

I was able to put latex in my readme for a project I put on gitlab (although there was a weird quirk where the math was delimited by $' '$ rather than just $$). Is this the first time Github Markdown has been able to support latex or has it just not been native support hitherto?

Answer 2

About time

Answer 3

Finally, it was annoying to type math in the issue tracker for some of the projects I use / work with others on.

Answer 4

This made my day

Answer 5

Yes yes yes!! It’s about time. Such a needed convenience for any math-related packages. Hope support for all things programming pick it up soon (looking at you, Rust docs & sphinx)

Answer 6

I love LaTeX, but honestly, on the web this would proly be better if it compiled to MathML instead of images

Answer 7

Yay

Answer 8

Why did it take so long?

Answer 9

Pog

Answer 10

Isn’t that markdown already supports latex?
