math rendering in comments

[iaacornus]

comments should be clear and concise. A problem with text editors is that, while they are perfect for writing and displaying code, they do a pretty poor job with comments. Comments shouldn’t be restricted to the rigid rules of all the rest of the code, as they are (usually) completely ignored by any parser.

If you are working in a math heavy field, you have experienced at least once the frustrating feeling of not being able to comment your code by using a simple, straightforward formula. I mean, you can, but… how should you write it?

Maybe we can add math rendering mode feature like from notepadqq:

math.webm

Which takes allows to insert math equation using a tex syntax (its mathjax if im not mistaken).
