PowerPoint plugin to use Carbon conveniently #1431

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I usually use PowerPoint to deliver my presentations.

Describe the solution you'd like I found a very convenient way of using LaTex from inside PPT which makes use of the IguanaTex plugin, in which the user write LaTex inside a dialog box and it then renders it to LaTex. The user can then later edit the LaTex which is associated to that image and re-render it again. I think it would be amazing if there was a similar plugin for carbon, to allow me to render pretty source code the same way I can render pretty LaTex expressions.

Describe alternatives you've considered Copy and paste images from the web browser to the terminal, and then re-writing the whole thing if I made a mistake or would like to change something, no matter how tiny it is.

Additional context I'm not sure whether this feature request should be here or not, given that this isn't a feature for carbon per say, but on something that would work on top of carbon. Given that there is a way to use Carbon in the web, maybe all the plugin had to do was send queries and you would if you were using it in an external website and the returning the rendered image, avoiding a manual installation of the program in your local machine (although I would rather to have things locally).
