- saagarjha 6y agoI'd rather that they supported a standard like MathML or LaTeX.
- icey 6y agoThere was someone working on LaTeX support a few years ago, but iirc it was very difficult to secure it enough to feel comfortable letting it run server-side for rendering. Source: I worked there when they were working on it.
- haneefmubarak 6y agoWhat about client side rendering via MathJax? You could have your LaTeX code embedded in your markdown and MathJax could substitute it for appropriately rendered symbols as necessary.
- jcelerier 6y agogithub being a social network is the main reason of its success.
- mhh__ 6y agoIs it? Networking yes, social maybe? I don't have any memories of early GitHub but did any of it's competitors come close to being as good?
- natfriedman 6y agoWe're definitely going to add math support to GitHub markdown.
- maxfan8 6y agoIs there a timeline for adding math support to GH markdown? I've had to resort to human-side rendering to put LaTeX/math in a GitHub flavored markdown file.
