Package 'latexsvg'

Takes the code of an svg file that has <text> blocks with latex math E.g. <text>\(x^2\)</text> Renders the latex via MathJax and inlines it into the svg. The function briefly starts a shinyapp since the transformation needs MathJax to be run in the browser. Will work in the RStudio viewer and in Firefox. Does not seem to work in Chrome.

Description

The javascript code that does the actually work is a minimally adapted version of the code by Jason Sachs. See the following references:
