Oh neat, you can.
Here's the code to produce that snippet:
{% katex %}
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{% endkatex %}
It's new and there will be kinks that need to be worked out.
Kudos to @maestromac for a really fabulous implementation.

Description
Used katex-ruby gem to make a Katex Liquid Tag.
- In order to make this work, I had to turn off Redcarpet's superscripts feature. I was more comfortable with this change when I learn that Github and Gitlab shared similar settings.
- I found it impossible to pass our storybook prebuild because it can't resolve
@import _katexas that is a geminifed CSS. I've decided to copy provided CSS into our own app. I'd imagine this would help with serving up CSS for stack bit apps. If this is a bad idea please let me know.

Ha!
Cool to see that
👏👏👏
What a great feature! Thanks, @maestromac .
No problem 😊
OMG! Fabulous!
Lemme see if it works...
hello
$$\alpha=4$$testing inline equationtesting double dollar notation
Ah crap without code block?
Does this work? $$\text{This would be amazing}\longrightarrow \sqrt{x}$$
Ah I see
Awesome!
It would also be great if we could get support for the double dollar sign notation:
$$x^2$$
I use this on my Jekyll blog, which also renders KaTeX :)
Interesting...
Is that fully inline, so
$$x^2$$automatically becomes...?
Yup, you can use it to generate both inline and block-level LaTeX:
This is $$x^2$$ a sentence.
Or:
$$x^2$$
There's a great tutorial on how to get it set up here: xuc.me/blog/katex-and-jekyll/
Damn... I haven't used LaTeX since the mid-90s. :)
Charts would also be really cool. Comments in this thread have some good ideas on that matter...
What's the best charts library with a small bundle size?

Cool!
Thank you! I was scratching my head wondering how to do this. This will enable math-related articles to be posted here.
Cool stuff
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Holy Moly
LaTeX was a major part of my stint in academia. Have something of a love/hate relationship with it, but this is a welcome feature, nonetheless.
