Overview

Features & Capabilities

LaTeX in Discord is a Chrome extension that enables users to seamlessly render LaTeX mathematical formulas within Discord's browser client. Simply use $...$ for inline formulas or $$...$$ for display mode to present equations beautifully in your chats. This tool enhances communication by allowing clear, properly formatted mathematical expressions right where you chat.

Users may need to escape characters like *, _, and \ by adding backslashes to avoid Discord's message formatting interference. This extension streamlines technical discussions, study groups, and collaborative work involving math or science, making Discord a more versatile platform for users who frequently share complex formulas.

Is LaTeX in Discord Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

LaTeX in Discord requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

LaTeX in Discord has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
