LaTeX in Slack - Render Formulae in Slack with a Chrome Extension
LaTeX in Slack is a Chrome extension that enables rendering of LaTeX math formulas in Slack. It works with the latest versions of Slack and replaces the need for the extension math-with-slackb, thanks to its utilization of the KaTeX library. The extension offers flexible compatibility with various LaTeX delimiters and allows the insertion of newlines in formulas with
ewline. It also includes blackboard bold letter shorthands for convenience. This plugin isn't associated with Slack, Slack Technologies, Inc. or the KaTeX project.
