Rmd files work for me

Write your stuff as an Rmd file.
Use the servr package.
Enjoy

Yeah - I have the same issue. The two outputs are not .... quite identical. I think it may be a font issue or something although I haven't been able to figure out why I get different results. My main issue with rmd files is that I cannot use $$ $$ for displaymath (I know it is an abomination but old habits die hard)
