[FR] Markdown Formula Support via $ your formula $ and inline code via ``` your code ```

Open DanielBoigk opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description

Currently it looks like this when importing markdown file: image

  • Please make it that statement within $ $ are rendered as fomulaes like this:

$$ e^x = \sum\limits^\infty_{n=0} \frac{x^n}{n!} $$

and inline like: $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}$.

  • And all code blocks are rendered like this:
print("Hello world!")

or inline like this import numpy as np .

Impact

Some organisations around maths, physics, engineering might discuss heavy mathematical content featuring lots of formulas.

Explicitely declaring formulas and codeblocks via clicking + is cumbersome and importing already existing markdown documents are not rendered automatically.

Additional Context

The papers are usually rendered using latex, but a full latex distribution might be hard to implement, and take long to compile, thus usually we are confining ourselves to sending markdown documents.

I seek to do this myself in my own project that is supposed to be a big math database and are about to evaluate if Flutter-Rust-Bridge is a viable technology for that.

Is Flutter in it's current state even capable of rendering full blown markdown (with inline html)? (and later potentially typst and LaTeX)

Adding a vote for this request -- especially for some kind of easy way to input inline math, like with $ or whatever.

Does adding a vote help an issue get prioritized? Dunno, but I would highly value this feature!
