Hello all,
Currently there is no way to represent LaTeX or any formatted math in Gemini to my
knowledge. Would there be an appetite for adding an advanced (optional) line type which
would suggest rendering the line content as LaTeX? In my head I imagine it being prefixed
with 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 without
compromising the core values of the protocol.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
Andrew Thorp
