Wouldn't it be cool if DEV could render LaTeX?

Oh neat, you can.

c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

Here's the code to produce that snippet:

{% katex %}
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{% endkatex %}

It's new and there will be kinks that need to be worked out.

Kudos to @maestromac for a really fabulous implementation.

Implement KatexTag #6237

What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)

Used katex-ruby gem to make a Katex Liquid Tag.

In order to make this work, I had to turn off Redcarpet's superscripts feature. I was more comfortable with this change when I learn that Github and Gitlab shared similar settings.
I found it impossible to pass our storybook prebuild because it can't resolve @import _katex as that is a geminifed CSS. I've decided to copy provided CSS into our own app. I'd imagine this would help with serving up CSS for stack bit apps. If this is a bad idea please let me know.
