LaTeX in Slack Extension
Renders LaTeX math formulas in Slack.
Similar to the Chrome extension math-with-slackb, except this plugin uses
the KaTeX library instead of MathJax for better compatibility with the
latest version of Slack.
Usage instructions:
Mostly works like standard LaTeX.
Default delimiters are as follows (this avoids issues with dollar signs being used for other purposes):
Inline math:
\\( .. \\)
$$ .. $$
Display math:
\\[ .. \\]
$$$ .. $$$
Alternatively, in the options of the extension one can also choose to work with the usual LaTeX delimiters:
Inline math:
\\( .. \\)
$ .. $
Display math:
\\[ .. \\]
$$ .. $$
Newlines in formulas can be inserted with \
ewline. Double backslash \\\\ is ignored.
Blackboard bold letter shorthands:
\\R is short for \\mathbb{R}
\\N is short for \\mathbb{N}
\\Z is short for \\mathbb{Z}
Downloads:
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/latex-in-slack/
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/latex-in-slack/pfcfelfnpbnboelkjedecjipaibpnfja
Troubleshooting:
1.
Slack uses _ for _italics_ and * for *boldface*. This can interfere with your LaTeX formatting if your message
has multiple underscores or asterisks in it.
The developers of Slack are not big on having a consistent way to escape these special characters, but you can try:
a) escaping using two backslashes: $$\\bar\\chi^{\\\\*}\\\\_W$$
A single backslash is interpreted by the LaTeX rendering library as part of a command, but two of them will be ignored.
b) putting spaces around it: $$\\bar\\chi^ * _ W$$
2.
Sometimes Slack does something funny to double space \" \" making the plugin unable to recognize a piece of LaTeX
that contains it, like $$\\R $$.
Plugin by Sophie Huiberts and Bento Natura (2019-2020).
Option to choose $/$$/$$$ delimiters added by Nicolas Boumal (2020).
Licenced under the MIT licence.
