This message can seem weird, until you tap on the sigma symbol at the bottom #Fedilab

\[ \int_0^1 x^2 + y^2 \ dx \]

\[ a_1^2 + a_2^2 = a_3^2 \]

\[ (a^n)^{r+s} = a^{nr+ns} \]

Nice

@apps
Reminds me of the ”good old times" when every Webbrowser had its own set of custom HTML tags and the web sites had this "best viewed with...." footer.

Are we repeating history again?🤔

This feature was built to support the instance https://mathstodon.xyz
You can follow this instance with the app and this feature will help you to display formulas.

Cool. But the font color choice might need tweaking.

@jojo
Ah yes we have to fix the light theme.

@apps

Don't even know if I want to get started with this, but given:

!) v4.5.0 Mastodon on a) a Firefox web browser tab, and b) my trusty old toot! app on my iPhone 16 Plus:

2) What sigma? I see no sigma, except in the two added screen grab graphics, one in white-on-black and the other white-on-very-pale violet

3) I see what looks like ASCII text only:

\[ \int_0^1 x^2 + y^2 \ dx \]

Is this one of those markdown deals where the correct rendering only occurs when one is using the correct app?

So anyone reading this with markdown unsupported sees ... garble?

Here is the principle fault in the markdown fetish: if you're not a markdown enthusiast markdown looks like gibberish

And this is progress, how?

[ducks, because this opinion always pisses someone off...]

This is great, thank you!

@dat @apps Strange, not working for me in #Pachli.

@neatnit @dat @apps You'll to enable Lab Experiments and Render Markdown.

@michal @dat @apps Oh, thanks. I've had some bad experience with experiments in the past (reverse scrolling direction didn't quite work out) so I'm not sure I'll do that, but good to know!
