Description of the new feature/enhancement

  • The ultimate tool for displaying fractions and many mathematical characters is LaTeX.
    LaTeX or TeX is a notation for mathematical characters, a so-called typesetting system. The input is done with the keyboard. Formatting and mathematical characters are entered in text form and then converted.

LaTeX code example:

  • \frac{a}{b}

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Okay so I'm not sure what you're really looking for here - Do you want LaTeX rendering directly within the Terminal? A LaTeX shell application?

I mean, there's https://github.com/nilqed/latex2sixel

Which would depend on the Terminal supporting sixel graphics, #448
