LaTeX-Aware Markdown Preview Plugin Suite
A set of drop-in plugins for popular local Markdown editors (VS Code, Sublime, Obsidian) that inject MathJax rendering into their preview panes, matching GitHub's exact LaTeX rendering behavior. Users install once, then see equations render locally in real-time as they type, eliminating the GitHub push-to-verify cycle.

Value Proposition
Eliminates the painful GitHub-push-to-verify workflow by providing pixel-perfect local preview parity with GitHub's MathJax renderer. Faster iteration, no context switching, works offline.
Target Audience
Technical writers, academic researchers, and developers using VS Code, Sublime Text, or Obsidian who write math-heavy documentation
Key Features
- Real-time MathJax equation rendering in editor preview pane
- GitHub-flavor Markdown + LaTeX syntax support (inline $x$ and block $$x$$)
- Configuration panel to match GitHub's exact rendering settings
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Local Markdown preview tools fail to render LaTeX equations that GitHub now supports nativelyTechnical writers, researchers, and developers using local Markdown preview tools (like Grip) cannot see LaTeX equations rendered correctly in their local previews, even though GitHub's web interface now supports MathJax rendering. This creates a frustrating disconnect where equations look broken locally but work on GitHub, forcing users to constantly push to GitHub to verify their mathematical content renders properly.
