Markup: Support latex

[nilsocket]

It's 2019 now, Gitlab already has latex support in it's markdown flavor.

1. latex code block
2. latex inline

This feature is being requested from 2015.

So please, consider to support latex at-least now.

I'd also like to see LaTeX for math equations.

That would be great!

If I understand correctly, a markdown file is rendered by commonmarker as mentioned here. This means, that if math support (LaTeX) is desired, actually there are two options:

• Request this support at https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker. But it seems like it's not going to happen (comment). Or,
• Ask Github to use a different rendering tool.

Do I understand it correctly @kivikakk ?

Maybe related is #897

I think you’ve understood correctly, except that it’s extremely unlikely GitHub would change from commonmarker since they maintain its upstream. I no longer work at GitHub so I can’t really help further.

[drorata]

Do you mean https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm as the upstream?

[kivikakk]

Yep!

I also wish GH to support equations in README.md. This a feature I would use every single day...

Just support equations like in Stack Exchange :

    $$x_{1,2} = -b\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4\cdot a \cdot c}{2a}$$

This issue was closed. Looks like Github Markdown people try to simply dodge the issue using "it's not my problem" argument and directing the complaints to a different department (which does the same thing). Pretty sad.
