Why we are not supporting fully latex support we only support Mathjax which is not more advanced yet please do something in matter and make Mathpix more suitable for other users

can we extend mathjax3 another extension into this tool so that we can also extend the functionality of this application. Can you please create a MathKeyboard also from where we can also add math formulas if the system has done wrong in pickup the formula so that we don't have to search for latex command

Can you give an exact example of something you think we should support?

The MathKeyboard idea is fine but I'm not sure that it's a good fit for this library, which only deals with rendering and ignores editing details.

I actually really like the way the library supports common commands right now. One thing that would be very convenient would be to support custom commands, amsmath and custom amsthm environments, mathtools (\coloneqq, etc.), cref (or equivalent functionality) and the physics package convenience items (\qty, \pdv, etc.), and add some sort of extensible 'package' support so that people can cleverly extend. Of secondary importance would be better support for things like bibtex, some sort of basic plotting functionality (e.g. pgfplots+ mermaid or similar), and export to something like reveal.js. If you can nail the primary things and get people to use, I don't think there would be any reason to regularly use plain latex or markdown other than for very niche cases.
