So I found a way to fake it, kinda:  
[![](https://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?%5Cdpi%7B200%7D%5Cint&space;%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D&space;dx&space;=&space;%5Cln&space;%5Cleft%7C&space;x&space;%5Cright%7C&space;+&space;C.png) ](https://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?%5Cdpi%7B200%7D%5Cint&space;%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D&space;dx&space;=&space;%5Cln&space;%5Cleft%7C&space;x&space;%5Cright%7C&space;+&space;C.png)

Note the silly .png at the end. That was to convince Discourse that this was actually an image. I tried manually inserting an \<img\> tag, which worked in the preview, but upon posting Discourse said I wasn’t allowed to post media items. @codinghorror, is there any other workaround that doesn’t involve messing with the URL?
