It’d be nice to add LaTeX rendering to the chat interface. It’s already using Markdown, so probably it’s easy to implement a Mathjax plugin. For example, I use Cursor to discuss papers (previously transformed to .mdd using Nougat), and it would be nice to have the GPT-4 replies with LaTeX rendering in the chat. ---

Yes, thanks! Nonetheless, I’ve noticed that only accepts “\(” and “\[” for inline math, but $ and $$ are not accepted. So half of the time the rendering fails. I’ve tried to give pre-set instructions to the LLM in the settings and it helps but it’s not perfect. ---

This would be bad for some use cases of mine where I want to directly copy the latex code. So a switch would be appreciated. ---

Sorry but why can’t my cursor AI can’t print latex correctly？ It print something like [\int\_V (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}) , dV = \oint\_S \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{S}] QAQ. ---

It’d be nice to render LaTeX formulas in the chat window. As someone who uses cursor for a lot of Math that chat having the ability to display math formulas appropriately would be very useful. ---

Can we please revert this and add in a toggle support? It’s very annoying working in Finance-adjacent fields, and having $ to render the rest of the sentence as latex. ---

@deanrie 这对开发者很难吗，我是用codex换到cursor的，我对于cursor对话框的latex渲染非常不满意，首先是矩阵括号有时候显示有时候不显示，显示的时候也是缩小版；另外，文中latex公式用$$括起的也无法渲染。这对于强理论相关的开发者很不友好，我有时候需要让cursor帮忙分析代码理论公式。 ---

Hey, thanks for the report. I want to split this into two points, since these are different issues. Matrix brackets pmatrix and bmatrix and square roots \sqrt sometimes disappear or look out of proportion. This is a known rendering visual bug. KaTeX renders the content, but the stretchy brackets and the radical can fail to draw. We already reported this internally. I can’t share an exact fix timeline yet. Once I have an update, I’ll reply in this thread. Formulas inside $$…$$ do not render. I need a bit more info to reproduce it: - Your Cursor version. Go to Settings \> About or use Cursor \> About Cursor - A specific example formula you wrapped in $$ that did not render - The Request ID for that reply. Use the chat menu in the top right \> Copy Request ID, if Privacy Mode is off Also, keep in mind that a single $ can sometimes conflict with currency or normal text parsing, so inline math is more reliable as (…), and block math as […]. But $$ should work too, so please send an example and we’ll dig in. ---
