Hello all,

Currently there is no way to represent LaTeX or any formatted math in Gemini to myknowledge. Would there be an appetite for adding an advanced (optional) line type whichwould suggest rendering the line content as LaTeX? In my head I imagine it being prefixedwith a “$”:```$ \frac{1}{2} \text{ Hello from } \LaTeX !```Adding soft math support would go a long way in expanding the types of content which can usefully be supported by gemini, and doing so as a line type would do so withoutcompromising the core values of the protocol.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!
