LaTeX in my own chat messages does not render in the Codex desktop app (I’m on macOS), while GPT-authored LaTeX seems more likely to render in the same thread. Examples that did not render for me in user messages: $$f… --- ## [LaTeX often doesn't render in MacOS app](https://community.openai.com/t/latex-often-doesnt-render-in-macos-app/1099574)

I am a technical student and I often use o1 for help with my math/physics problems. Problem: When o1 responds it often fails to render LaTeX and I am just left with the raw LaTeX code. This really bugs me, because I lo… --- ## [How to preserve output formating](https://community.openai.com/t/how-to-preserve-output-formating/1140779)

I offen use OpenAI to help me with maths and physics. It works great but I would like to archive the results provided by OpenAI. It makes big problems with formating of maths formulas( e.g. algebraic formulas, sums, int… --- ## [MacOS app doesn't copy rendered LaTeX](https://community.openai.com/t/macos-app-doesnt-copy-rendered-latex/1099584)

When I use the copy button that appears when you hover over a response, it fails to copy the raw LaTeX code that is behind any rendered LaTeX. Instead it copies some strange character that is not in the GSM charset. The… --- ## [Generated equations not formatting](https://community.openai.com/t/generated-equations-not-formatting/1079471)

I have been having trouble getting chatGPT to transcribe a large and complex equation. What’s frustrating is that seems to make minor mistakes in some of the simpler terms in the equation. For example here’s the scan of … --- ## [Allow canvas to port LaTeX to other representations](https://community.openai.com/t/allow-canvas-to-port-latex-to-other-representations/1014953)

Mathematicians and technical users write most of what they publish as LaTeX. It would be nice if the canvas had a mode in addition to writing and coding for LaTeX.
