🙋 Feature Request: LaTeX Formula Rendering in Markdown

🧩 Problem

LaTeX formulas in Markdown are not rendered properly on GitHub. For example:

$$
\text{Attention}(Q, K, V) = \text{Softmax}\left(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{D}}\right)V
$$

or inline:

$\text{Attention}(Q, K, V) = \text{Softmax}\left(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{D}}\right)V$

But these are displayed as plain text instead of rendered formulas.

🎯 Desired Behavior

  • ✅ Inline LaTeX formulas using $...$
  • ✅ Block-level LaTeX expressions using $$...$$
  • ✅ Compatibility with MathJax or KaTeX-style rendering engines

Why do you think it is important?

📌 Supplement

Many platforms like Jupyter Notebook, HackMD, .... support full LaTeX rendering in Markdown. It would be great to see similar support on GitHub for technical content creators and researchers.

gogs seems to have been following up on the rendering of latex formulas in jupyter notebooks ->
[Add laTex formula rendering support in Ipython notebook] #6244
