RE: Adding LaTeX functionality for inline mathematical and scientific notation
Is there any consensus on which format would be preferred? I don't mind if one's more difficult to implement than the other, but whichever is preferred/easiest for the end user is what is important :)
Then the most common route is to install mathjax - many academics are used to just typing Latex straight into their texts. This is what stackexchange and other sites use.
I only mentioned RMarkdown in case it was already loaded - but it is non-standard.
Many thanks, many people will love it and saves on loading lots of gifs.
Since I am used to it, I would prefer LaTeX.
With MathJax, I have heard of it but I've never tested it out. I can adapt to that if that is chosen.
Mathjax is the javascript library that allows Latex to be displayed in a browser.
