the concept is good! i wish it was updated to support discord's 2024 updates...it seems like it worked back in 2020 and it was functional to those using it.

It does not work for me :c maybe it is outdated

Many, many thanks for finally inventing this. It almost works flawlessly. Why just almost? Because firstly, you have to put crazy amounts of escaping backslashes into the equations and secondly, because things often render in a rather ugly way. For example the integral symbols are just one line high and don't reach the lower and upper limit's position. Also the big parenthesis are rendered as small standard ones which makes things like putting fractions into functions like sin, log or powers hard. Another thing that bothers me is the false rendering of script or calligraphy letters. Other than those negative things which probably could and hopefully will be improved in the future, I love the idea, function and usability.
