How to use Latex in dev.to editor?

Question

I wonder is there some way I could render math formulas in dev.to editor to show as mathematical equations in my articles?

[It doesn't look like this is supported](https://dev.to/p/editor_guide). Note that Markdown has nothing to do with LaTeX. Yes, some tools have brought them together, but any given Markdown environment shouldn't be assumed to support LaTeX. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Dec 20 '19 at 03:49
@Chris Yes, Markdown and LaTeX are two different things. I was hoping a way to use LaTeX in dev.to editor but I haven't found one. — , Dec 23 '19 at 05:12

It seems that Dev.to supports Katex for mathematical formulas.

From dev.to documents:

KaTeX Embed

Place your mathematical expression within a KaTeX liquid block, as follows:

{% katex %}  c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} {% endkatex %}

To render KaTeX inline add the "inline" option:

{% katex inline %}  c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} {% endkatex %}

Info taken also for dev.to github issues.
