Rending math to HTML in R using katex

This vignette demonstrates some example math rendered server-side in R using the katex package. Refer to the upstream katex support table for the full list of supported tex functions.

Example equations from: https://www.intmath.com/cg5/katex-mathjax-comparison.php

Equation 1

tex1 <- "\\frac{1}{\\Bigl(\\sqrt{\\phi \\sqrt{5}}-\\phi\\Bigr) e^{\\frac25 \\pi}} \\equiv 1+\\frac{e^{-2\\pi}} {1+\\frac{e^{-4\\pi}} {1+\\frac{e^{-6\\pi}} {1+\\frac{e^{-8\\pi}} {1+\\cdots} } } }"
katex_html(tex1, include_css = TRUE)
1(ϕ5ϕ)e25π1+e2π1+e4π1+e6π1+e8π1+\frac{1}{\Bigl(\sqrt{\phi \sqrt{5}}-\phi\Bigr) e^{\frac25 \pi}} \equiv 1+\frac{e^{-2\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-4\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-6\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-8\pi}} {1+\cdots} } } }

Equation 2

tex2 <- "\\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \\right)^2 \\leq \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \\right) \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \\right)"
