Suggestion:
adding LaTeX to forums

Detailed description:
Adding the markup language LaTeX to the Pika network forums.

LaTeX, if you didn't know is the language they use to make "fancy math" text.


Like for example, Desmos uses LaTeX to display integral symbols and such instead of displaying plaintext.



The format for LaTeX in forums would be `insert LaTeX`

Reason(s):
It would be very helpful for suggestions and such that need a formula of some form to calculate something else, and also answering questions about certain stuff


Let's say that someone wants to make a suggestion for a sword enchant on op lifesteal.


It would be much cleaner to display the formula in LaTeX as:




...than to write junk like (2b/P)^L * (t/P_rotection) * floor(t)

Example(s):
`\int_{a}^{b} \, \frac {\sin{\theta}} {\ln{(\theta)}} \quad d\theta` would display as:

Neutral.
Its a niche feature that hardly anyone has requested, and it doesn't seem necessary for a Minecraft server's forum where simple text or even screenshots from the platform which suppor tthis type of formatting could do the job.
