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

For automatic conversion upon push to GitHub, take a look at the TeXify app:

GitHub App that looks in your pushes for files with extension *.tex.md and renders it's TeX expressions as SVG images

How it works (from the source repository):

Whenever you push TeXify will run and seach for *.tex.md files in your last commit. For each one of those it'll run readme2tex which will take LaTeX expressions enclosed between dollar signs, convert it to plain SVG images, and then save the output into a .md extension file (That means that a file named README.tex.md will be processed and the output will be saved as README.md). After that, the output file and the new SVG images are then commited and pushed back to your repo.
