Full description
This package provides a method to display mathematical formulas in Emacs. It is mainly intended as a helper library to be used by other packages, but also provides integration with some built-in Emacs features.
MathJax is used as rendering engine. The Node JavaScript runtime is
required (package node in many package managers), but all other
dependencies are bundled with mathjax.el.
1. For users
As the end user, you can set up math rendering in EWW buffers with
(add-hook 'eww-mode-hook #'mathjax-shr-setup)
This is how your typical webpage might then look like:
A possible future development could be the inclusion of a live preview mode for TeX, Org, etc.
2. For package authors
If you would like to use this library in your package, you first need to communicate to your users that Node is required to make math rendering work.
The API is asynchronous, non-blocking and well oiled. The basic entry
point is mathjax-render, which takes as input a callback function
and a mathematical formula, which can be in either TeX, MathML or
AsciiMath format. MathJax runs in a subprocess and when it finishes,
the callback is called with an SVG image as argument.
The function mathjax-display provides a more high-level interface.
It takes as argument a formula and a buffer region (which typically
contains a plain-text rendition of the formula). When rendering
completes, an overlay is created in the indicated region to display
the formula.
Lastly, mathjax-typeset-region can be used when you have several
formulas in a buffer region, delimited by the patterns stipulated in
the mathjax-delimiters variable.
In all cases, see the docstrings for complete details.
