What I’m trying to do
I want to be able to render LaTeX within base columns,and Im not entirely sure on how to go about doing so (if possible)/ I’ve tried a number of different methods such as trying to insert an HTML snippet (Example of said HTML snippet ) adding the markdown symbol for LaTeX, etc. Any help would be apperciate thank you :).

This problem is documented in this FR (feature request):
Use case or problem
Certain Bases could benefit greatly from the ability to display equations, mathematical formulas, etc. However, as noted at Properties - Obsidian Help , arbitrary Markdown rendering is not an intended feature.
Proposed solution
A dedicated property type for mathematical expressions, in MathJax syntax and rendered by MathJax in Bases etc.
Current workaround (optional)
Create an svg using LaTeX and display it as an image.

a workaround atm (as mentioned in the FR) is to create an image with the standalone documentclass in LaTeX.
please like the FR to vote for it if you’re interested in this being a feature of Obsidian!
