LaTeX in Notebooklm

A Tampermonkey userscript that adds LaTeX rendering capability to Google's Notebooklm using KaTeX. This allows you to write mathematical formulas with standard LaTeX syntax using $formula$ delimiters.

Features

• Renders inline LaTeX formulas using $formula$ syntax
• Automatically processes new content as it's added to the page
• Uses KaTeX for fast, beautiful math rendering

Installation

1. Install the Tampermonkey browser extension:
   • Chrome
   • Firefox
   • Edge
   • Safari

[!IMPORTANT]
On some Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, Opera, etc.),
Tampermonkey will not run user scripts unless you explicitly enable:
Manage Extensions > Tampermonkey > Details > Allow User Scripts
Make sure this toggle is ON, otherwise the script will never execute.

2. Install the script:
   • Recommended: Click here to install via .user.js file
     • This will open the script in Tampermonkey for one-click installation.
   • Manual method:
     • Open the Tampermonkey dashboard
     • Create a new script
     • Copy and paste the entire content of renderLatex.user.js
     • Save the script

Usage

1. Navigate to https://notebooklm.google.com/
2. Output with mathematical formulas using LaTeX syntax surrounded by dollar signs
   • Example: $E = mc^2$ will render as a properly formatted equation.

Examples
