Feature Request: Render math formulas in Codex responses (LaTeX support) #446

Description

@TYTY666

Background

My Codex-assisted projects often involve mathematical derivations and formula-heavy explanations. When CodexMonitor displays Codex responses, math expressions are currently rendered as plain text, which significantly reduces readability and makes it harder to discuss derivations and symbol definitions with the LLM.

Request

Please add math formula rendering support when parsing/rendering Codex responses, so LaTeX-style math is displayed properly.

Desired syntax support

  • Inline math: $ ... $ and/or \( ... \)
  • Block math: $$ ... $$ and/or \[ ... \]

Examples (expected to render)

  • Inline: Euler identity: $e^{i\pi}+1=0$
  • Block:
    $$
    \nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}
    $$
    

Implementation suggestions (optional)

  • Integrate a math-capable renderer into the Markdown pipeline (e.g., KaTeX or MathJax).
  • Add a setting like Enable math rendering (default off to avoid breaking changes for existing users).
  • Do not render math inside fenced code blocks (```), to avoid accidental parsing of code snippets.

Why this matters

This would greatly improve CodexMonitor’s usability for math-heavy programming work (algorithms, numerical methods, ML, graphics, optimization, etc.), making Codex responses much easier to read and discuss.

Thanks a lot for building and maintaining CodexMonitor—it's been really helpful!
