Overview

About

Maintained by David GohelCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides function to transform latex math expressions into format 'HTML' or 'Office Open XML Math'. The 'XML' result can then be included in 'HTML', 'Microsoft Word' documents or 'Microsoft PowerPoint' presentations by using a 'Markdown' document or the R package 'officer'.

Changes in 0.2.2

add a strict argument to transform_mathjax() ("ignore" by default) to turn off ennoying warnings when using accented characters in equations.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("equatags", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ardata-fr/equatags")

Development version from ardata-fr/equatags. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-equatags

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-equatags

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
