I've wound up just copy-pasting the output latex into my markdown file so it renders automatically.

we really need this!

This would be fantastic!

yes, sorely missing that!

++++

definitely need this

I back this, currently VS Code Github Copilot with Opus 4.6 can render math correctly, but not Claude Code VS Code extension

Just noticed this issue myself, this would be great to have on VS code!

This would be really useful for me!!

This please

Need this please🥺🥺

how could every software, claude code, codex failed to support latex rendering and text select-response.

BUMP THIS PLEASE!!!!!

bump

Pleaseee!!!

Please!!!

For folks running Claude Code in a terminal rather than the VS Code extension (Windows Terminal, conhost, WezTerm, etc.) — claude-code-katex is a great fit if you're in VS Code, but it doesn't help terminal-only setups. @andrewboldi mentioned the gap above.

I built texpop to scratch that exact itch on Windows: a hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+V) opens a popup that overlays the focused terminal exactly, picks the focused chat across multi-tab sessions, and renders the last assistant message with KaTeX + Markdown + custom callouts. Reads the JSONL transcripts on disk; fully offline; MIT.

Not a replacement for first-party rendering inside Claude Code — that's the right long-term fix and what this issue is asking for. Just a stop-gap for the terminal cohort.

I made a VS Code extension called ClaudeTex to take care of this

I was having trouble with other implementations either failing on more complicated physics equations/matrices or opening separate preview tabs, so ClaudeTex renders inline in the existing Claude Code chat and includes extra handling for arrays, matrices, and safer $...$ parsing

Please add this support! This will be very helpful!

Please

This issue remains for Version 2.1.186
