Is it possible to use LaTeX rendering in README.md file of a repo?

I have tried to add some LaTeX commands in double backticks to README.MD, however, it looks like they are note recognized.

You probably mean Github?

Unfortunately Github doesn’t support LaTeX in markdown files :confused:

You can use a web page like this and include it as image in your Readme:

https://latex.codecogs.com/png.download?1+1

To show it do:

One thing you could do is use PkgPage.jl in lieu of README.md; that supports LaTeX maths (via KaTeX) out of the box (e.g.: this bit: PkgPage.jl)
