Do any of you know how we could about making the chess.com staff implement a LaTeX feature, so we could write our mathematical discussions properly!? Laughing

Dear Support,
                 together with some member friends here at chess.com, i was wondering; if, chess.com could include: a LeTeX application into the thread/posting side of your WebSite? [for members who wish to express maths and science, via symbols. viz that.

thank you,

~ waiting your reply

Dear Support \Julia Howells\Kohai,
thank you for your response.

the LaTeX application is a science application "[LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for  technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.

LaTeX is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX encourages authors not to worry too much about the appearance of their documents but to concentrate on getting the right content, ie math and science symbols.]"

~ Support, at chess.com in the "area of Team Groups" there are several chess.com Chess Groups which are science based, i can list: 1] The Gaussian Eliminators, and 2] The Emperor's Newest Minds ~ as two! Although these chess.com Chess Groups are chess-orientated, their Threads and Posting material are often scientific, too. that is the nature [of freeness / freedom, in the chess.com Groups!] ~ in respect of that: a LaTeX application, along with the normal FEN, HTML, YOUTUBE, Tags that chess.com use would "expand" chess.com's Thread \Post comprehensibility ... namely. ~
ALSO:  i know of other chess.com Members, who likewise are prepared to support this ask.

thank you,

~  waiting your reply

Thank you for letting us know about the LaTeX application amenhotepi. At the moment we do not have any plans to include this on Chess.com as we are mainly focusing on the chess aspect of the website. Also, we have many important projects ongoing which takes most of our time up such as development of the Live Chess and the iPhone application.
