Feature Request: Add LaTeX Text Display Support

Description:
I would like to request the addition of LaTeX text display support in Open WebUI. This feature would enable the rendering of mathematical equations and scientific notations in a more readable and visually appealing format within the chat interface.

Benefits:

  1. Improved Clarity: LaTeX allows for precise formatting of mathematical equations and symbols, making complex expressions clearer and easier to understand.
  2. Enhanced User Experience: Users who work with mathematical or scientific content will benefit from the ability to see well-formatted equations, enhancing their overall interaction with the tool.
  3. Broader Use Cases: Integrating LaTeX support will make Open WebUI more versatile, especially for academic, engineering, and scientific communities where precise mathematical representation is crucial.

Use Case:

  • Math Students and Educators: Users can input LaTeX code to render equations and formulas directly in the chat, which can be particularly useful for educational purposes.
  • Researchers and Engineers: Professionals can share complex mathematical models and scientific data in a readable format, improving communication and collaboration.

Additional Information:
To implement this feature, you might consider integrating a LaTeX rendering library such as MathJax or KaTeX. These libraries can parse LaTeX code and render it as high-quality mathematical typesetting.

Thank you for considering this request!

Already implemented, but due to repeated issue reports for it being applied too widely to things that aren't LaTeX it's been refactored multiple times, and nobody seems quite happy with it now. Anyway this FR is moot.
