Latex rendering in README.md on Github

Question

Is there any way to render LaTex in README.md in a GitHub repository? I\'ve googled it and searched on stack overflow but none of the related answers seems feasible.

Answer 1

I upload repositories with equations to Gitlab because it has native support for LaTeX in .md files:

```math
SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
```

The syntax for inline latex is $`\sqrt{2}`$.

Gitlab renders equations with JavaScript in the browser instead of showing images, which improves the quality of equations.

Let's hope Github will implement this as well in the future.
