Display LaTeX in power apps

Hi,
 
I have my power app that feeds from my MS list with questions in LaTeX code such as " Simplify  $\frac{x+1}{x^2-1}$". 
 
Is there anyway I can get Power Apps to render the LaTeX code?

    Hi User_Naami
     
    There's no built in way to display LaTeX in Power Apps.
     
    With the specific mathematical example that you posted, there are JavaScript libraries that can convert LaTeX to HTML, like the one beneath. 
     
     
    Therefore, one solution is to write your own PCF component that takes an input and uses the JS library to carry out the conversion. You can then add the PCF component to your app to carry out the conversion.

    Hi @User_Naami​​​​​​​
    Power Apps uses PowerFX code - you would need to translate that into the equivalent PowerFx code if possible (I do not think your example would be however).
