Bug ID: 172585
Summary: LibreOffice Writer 26.2 can open Markdown files, but
TeX math is not rendered
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.4.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Description:
LibreOffice Writer 26.2 can open Markdown files, but TeX math is not rendered.
Example input:
Inline math: $E = mc^2$
Display math:
$$
\int_0^1 x^2\,dx = \frac{1}{3}
$$
Actual result:
The math is shown as literal text, ignored, or not converted to a formula
object.
Expected result:
Inline and display math should be converted to native LibreOffice Math formula
objects, or at least imported via MathML where possible.

Math isn't rendered in .md files
Expected Results:
The math is rendered

Additional Info:
MD4C can recognize $...$ / $$...$$ if configured to do so, but LibreOffice’s
Markdown importer currently does not enable or implement TeX-math conversion.
