Implemented latex compatibility with plugin

[zenxol]

Summary

Adds LaTeX/math support to the forum so users can write and render math in new topics and replies.

• Toolbar button: LaTeX (superscript) button in the composer that inserts $$ $$ or wraps the selection with $$...$$.
• Rendering: MathJax 3 loads from CDN when needed and renders inline $...$ and display $$...$$ in the composer preview and in posts.

Changes

• New plugin in vendor/nodebb-plugin-composer-latex/ (library, client scripts, MathJax loader, language file).
• package.json: dependency added for nodebb-plugin-composer-latex (local vendor path).

How to use

1. Create a new topic or reply.
2. Use the LaTeX button (x² icon) or type $...$ (inline) or $$...$$ (display).
3. Preview and published posts will render the math.

Setup for reviewers / after merge

• npm install then ./nodebb build (Redis or DB must be running).
• In Admin → Extend → Plugins, activate Composer LaTeX if it isn’t already active. This is a mandatory step!

Testing

• In the composer, click the LaTeX button and confirm $$ $$ is inserted.
• Type e.g. $$x^2 + y^2 = z^2$$ and use Preview to confirm it renders.
• Post and confirm the same math renders in the topic.

NOTE

generated from ai: What it does support (math):
Equations: fractions, roots, integrals, sums, limits
Symbols: Greek letters, operators, relations
Matrices, cases, align-style blocks
Inline $...$ and display $$...$$ math
So anything you’d write in LaTeX math mode (or that MathJax’s TeX input supports) works.
What it does not do:
Full document LaTeX – no \documentclass, \begin{document}, sections, etc.
Arbitrary packages – no TikZ, full tabular, custom .sty files, etc.
Chemistry – no \ce{...} unless you add something like the mhchem extension to MathJax.
General typography – it’s a math renderer, not a full LaTeX compiler.
