Description
To write nice chemical equations easily, we can use mhchem extension. Please see the following example.
markup
$\ce{2HCl + Na2CO3 = H2O + CO2 ^ + 2NaCl}$rendered
According to KaTex's documentation, I just added require('katex/dist/contrib/mhchem.js') to this plugin and it works perfectly. Is it possible to formally add the mhchem support? It might be an option in the plugin settings. What is your opinion?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the plugin's KaTeX integration and settings entry points, then compare them with the documented require('katex/dist/contrib/mhchem.js') approach. Use the linked chemical-equation example to verify that mhchem syntax renders correctly, and ensure the intended plugin option controls the support.
