Dear goatandsheep,

I tried your script with SLACK, it outputs "The TeX-ification is complete!" on the console, but nothing is rendered.
I tried $x^2$, $$x^2$$, but nothing unfortunately...

Could you provide an example how to use this script?, that would be helpful.

I would be glad if you have some time,
best,
Stephan

I pondered over this line "Enables MathJax to process LaTeX on all websites. Based off SOUP (Stack Overflow Unofficial Patch) and http://www.math.ucla.edu/~robjohn/math/mathjax.html." from the comments, that helped me to get it working.

@schilichtanders It's had trouble rendering on streams, since it compiles the content at page load. If someone knows how to do that, that would be awesome.

MathJax has shut down

For the random bypasser that reads the comments:

It's also possible to install a local copy.
