Messenger LaTeX

This is a simple Chrome extension which recognizes and properly renders LaTeX markup in Facebook Messenger.

This extension is now retired. Its functionality has been impemented in Messenger natively.

How to use it

Use LaTeX markup as you normally would.

Standalone LaTeX formulas are written like so: x + 1 ; inline — like so: \( x + 1 \). To input literal \( and \), escape the backslash like so: \\( \\)

To copy the LaTeX markup of a rendered equation, click right on it. The corresponding markup will be copied to your system’s clipboard.

Features

• LaTeX markup rendering in Facebook mini-chats and Facebook Messenger
• Equation live preview in Facebook Messenger
• Export to PNG
• Compactness: total extension size of under 1MB
