These packages have a mathjax version or equivalent.
In jupyter I can require those in mardown cells or use a custom.js.
I must be blind but I couldn't find docs on how to do that with marimo.

It is not currently possible. We could potentially try to discover this (if they are installed) and try to automatically add the extensions.

What do you mean by discover ?
I was thinking marimo could look in the packages installed and try to find the additional latex plugins that are installed
@Myles Scolnick It seems to me that currently marimo is using katex for equation rendering.
katex possibilities are relatively limited compared to mathjax, but it happens to have an extension for mhchem, which is the one I personally need (and honestly anyone doing chemistry).
With a couple of new lines in
TexPlugin.tsx I could make something that seems to be working. Not sure this is enough, but in case, I can't push my branch to the repo to make a pull request :
How can I make a pull request ?You need to make a fork of marimo in your own user. I would recommend the GitHub cli which does this for you
