Preview Latex formulas

For some reason I could not find anything related in the forums.
Is there a way (maybe with a 3rd party package) to preview Latex formulas in the DTP?

For example, I have this formula in Latex

\begin{equation}
R_{excess} = R_{T} - Return_{rf}
\end{equation}

Which renders nicely in preview:

Can I do anything similar in DTP?

Try enabling MathJax is Preferences > Media

Ah, yes, this seems to work perfectly!!!

BTW, I see there is a builtin support for prism.js on the same settings page. Does it mean I don’t need to include a reference to prism.js on every new document?
Right now I put this into every new document:

<link href="https://configurationfiles.gitlab.io/prismjs/prism.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://configurationfiles.gitlab.io/prismjs/prismCustom.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://configurationfiles.gitlab.io/prismjs/prism.js"></script>

Only if your file supports languages which are not supported by the included Prism files.

So in other words, the prism.js that comes with DT supports everything that vanilla prism.js supports?

It includes some additional languages like Objective-C, Swift, AppleScript etc. but most are not included as the css/js files would be really large otherwise.
