VKTex Extension

Расширение отрисовывает формулы в сообщениях, постах, статьях и комментариях во Вконтакте.

Для того, чтобы формула отрисовалась в текущей строке, используйте двойной доллар
→ $$ \\lambda \\text{ I'll call it } \\lambda $$

Для того, чтобы формула отрисовалась в новом абзаце — оберните в слеш и квадратную скобку.
→ \\[ \\lambda \\text{ I'll call it } \\lambda \\]

Расширение использует KaTeX — многофункционульную библиотеку для отрисовки формул. Здесь рассказано о том, какие команды или пакеты можно использовать: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html.

VKTex разрабатывается силами Глеба (https://github.com/gle8098) и основан Федором (https://github.com/TulaShlyosberg).
