Is there a way to make LaTeX render as display by default? Some editors use $[code]$ for inline and $$[code]$$ for display. Something like this could be really useful.
Unfortunately there’s no way to do that right now, sorry!
And we didn’t want $text$ to display as LaTeX, since the dollar sign is quite common and we don’t want to surprise people by assuming they want LaTeX when they put text between dollar signs.
I actually managed to figure out a way, but it’s not very pretty: $$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n{x_i^2}$$. This will switch to display style. The weird thing is that this blog post, http://blog.dynalist.io/latex/, shows display style.
Thanks,

It uses the same \displaystyle technique too…
