Math in Notes

Is this feature coming to the Notes app? The capability to add Latex formulas to a note would make this app an even better tool.

An equation created in Pages v8.1 can be copied and pasted into Notes. That is the only good news, as currently, its size explodes once pasted into Notes (as a PDF) attachment. So for now, it is impractical to do this.


Also, bear in mind that Apple's implementation of the equation editor in current versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote is based on a very restrictive, third-party, MathML translator (blahtex) that excludes any [La]TeX packages. More info on that support.


I have the full MacTeX 2019 distribution (5GB+) installed and it does not exist from the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote application perspective.
