LaTeX in the chat

[Fantini]

Good afternoon everyone. Is it possible? The purpose wouldn't be to solve questions in the chat, but rather we could have quick discussions while able to produce understanding typesetting.

Cheers.

I agree

And we could typeset pretty diagrams

Hi guys,

It does work in chat, somewhat. I won't be able to make it any better because we have very little control over how Mathjax works but if you see Latex code in the chat you can reload the chat box and it will render. Once someone makes a new comment the equation will go back to just code and you'll have to reload the page again to see it rendered once more. Sorry its a bit of a pain but at least its temporarily possible to see!
