This one's pretty out there, but it would be pretty cool to have a command, something along the lines of "!tex" that would broadcast an image of LaTeX code passed in as an argument. This is technically feasible and can be done entirely in JavaScript without needing image hosting by compiling the LaTeX to an SVG, then converting that SVG to base64 and using it as the source for an HTML<img> element. This is something that's been occasionally requested for the Scholastic room, and I've created a proof-of-concept bot (https://github.com/Geyserexe/SteambotGeyser) that does this using htmlboxes. This is probably a fairly technically involved request, so kudos to anybody who takes it on. Thanks for your time!

This feels like something more suited to a bot feature than a native PS feature. Don't think it's worth the upkeep that would be required.
