Inline LaTeX Addition

Currently there is the LaTeX block which occupies a whole 2 or 3 lines of text. What would be cool is to have also an option for inline LaTeX code to integrate along with regular written text. Here is a simple example:

Yes, I’d also love to see this.

Having some sort of LaTex implementation would be fantastic!

@biome LaTeX block is already available, this request is for the inline display of such block

As a student in computer science and mathematics this would be fantastic !

Yes! I’d like to see this happen too, along with a keyboard shortcut that toggles between LaTeX and normal text, like Notion’s Ctrl + Shift + E or Obsidian’s $ $.

This! Perhaps the inline latex block could be more of a way of formatting text than a ‘block’ (similar to what inline codeblocks are like today), if you type ‘$’ around some text it could turn into a LaTeX block, render out its content & let you edit it if your cursor moved back into it (either by turning back into its formula text when your cursor was on it (I don’t have a good example of an editor that I’ve used that does this out of the box, but from experience with a custom EMACS config it works pretty well) or opening a box similar to notion’s formula box).

I’m onboard with this idea! As someone who has a lot of math classes, I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to have an inline equation.

+1 I would really need that too!

This would be awesome, will this get implemented in the near future?

Yes, please! This would be one of the last few things I need to switch over to anytype.

+1. I think it would be nice if $ would generate inline equations and $$ would generate block equations. This syntax should also be used when exporting to Markdown because Markdown converters such as Pandoc can translate these to LaTeX equations again.

+1. I think the inline latex is a basic function that a note-taking app should have. It is difficult to take scientific notes without such a function. It is the most important function I am waiting for before I move to Anytype. Really hope it could come soon. :smiley:

+1 chiming in here as well. This is an absolute must in STEM fields. I’m surprised that not just Anytype but a few other competitors also lack inline LaTeX. I’ve always tried to suggest their developers to implement inline LaTeX but so far none of them have even tried to implement such a feature. I hope Anytype will be different.

Hello everyone :nerd_face: We can see it is highly requested feature and will discuss with devs possibility of doing this.

That is perfect. Thank you very much for considering this request. Cannot wait for it to be released :smile:

+1. What is the expected time of arrival of this feature and in what release?
