Feature Request: Add rendered LaTeX math support to the Codex App (inline + block)

What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Codex App should render LaTeX math (inline + display), matching ChatGPT’s behavior. Currently, Codex writes math as Unicode symbols only, which is hard to read when writing plans and doing math-heavy coding. I frequently switch to ChatGPT just to read equations.
Requested support (same syntax as ChatGPT):
Inline: $...$ → e.g. $e^{i\pi}+1=0$ $e^{i\pi}+1=0$
Display: $$...$$ → e.g.
$$e^{i\pi}+1=0$$
$$e^{i\pi}+1=0$$

It has support in math, but broke frequently among updates. In one version
$x$works and in another this will not. Now$x$syntax is broken in app,\(x\)will render inline while$$x$$works for equation block. Weird and inconsistent. Btw I hate this\(delimiter.+1 yes
This seems to be working now
@Avi-D-coder What do you mean it seems to be working now? Are you getting rendered latex?
yeah
@Avi-D-coder , doesn't seem complete at the moment,
