Theo vows T3 Code will never get native LaTeX support, sparking user debate
theo · x · 2026-10-12
T3 Code creator theo has declared the tool will never support native LaTeX rendering, after community members suggested using KaTeX or remark-math. He says he may eventually ship a separate "math tool" that agents can call for LaTeX snippets, but refuses to pollute the markdown pipeline for the "0.1% of math people." The stance triggered pushback from users like gnukeith, turning into a lively debate on how coding tools should handle niche rendering needs.
