LaTeX Viewing LaTeX Formulas on the PF App: Updates and Possibilities

    Formulas Latex
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the ability to view LaTeX formulas in the PF app, which many users find difficult to read in raw format. Currently, the app utilizes Taptalk, and while there is no confirmation on when native support for MathJax/LaTeX will be added, a workaround exists for Android users. By accessing the post through the Android menu and selecting "WebView," users can view equations in their browser, provided it supports the feature. This workaround allows for better readability of LaTeX content, although iOS users did not receive specific instructions for similar functionality. Overall, the community expresses a desire for improved LaTeX support in the app.

Will the formulas typed in latex ever be able to be viewed on the PF app?

It is primarily what I use and many equations are quite difficult to read when written in raw latex. (The fact that I don't know latex probably doesn't help.)

Just wondering if any mentors or really anyone for that matter knew if that feature was coming to the app anytime soon?

Not sure. But the current version leverages Taptalk.

For an Android phone:
With PF app (or Taptalk app) open on a post containing equations, click on the Android menu, then "More" (touchscreen), then "WebView" (also touchscreen). At that point the post will open up in the browser. If your Android browser supports it (most do as far as I can tell), you can see the equations.

Yeah, it would be nice if the MathJax/LaTeX came up natively in Taptalk. I'm just saying that it possible to see the LaTeX using this workaround.

Also, I have an iOS device if that changes anything.
