I’m interested in rendering inline LaTeX formulae, which is very useful for teams discussing maths stuff.

I see there is this issue which is now closed:

I commented about 3 months ago but got no reply yet, that’s why I’m also posting a message here.

If inline math is already working, how? If not, would it be possible to add support for it?

No, I don’t think it renders inline at the moment. It’s only supported as a type of code block, like in the example on the pull request.

If a community member is interested in contributing a pull request for that we may consider adding it, the other option would be to open a [feature request](http://www.mattermost.org/feature-ideas/) on it to gather support from other users.
