Description
1. Environment
- Device: [RedmiNote 11]
- OS: [Android 13]
- APP: [0.9.12]
2. Describe the feature request
The app is wonderful but cannot be used on math blog as latex is not managed well. There are two main ways to display latex on a blog:
-
the blog site includes mathjax or katex, and latex be included using an HTML element or DIRECTLY in the text by surrounding it by a usual latex math notation ($$, $$$$, etc)
-
latex formulas are directly concerted into images, like on WordPress.
In the first case, un ReadYou, the latex formula is displayed as text.
In the second case, the image is included with the formula as description.
In both case the HTML parser could be modified. Katex could then be used to display the math.
