[Feature Request] Mathjax or equivalent #29

Open galenseilis opened 3 months ago

galenseilis commented 3 months ago

I often use Beamer (LaTeX) for producing slides, but this is somewhat disjoint from my work with Python. Of course I can write Python which generates strings so some amount of automation has been possible on that front, but I would prefer something like Nelsie if it could simply part of the source code of my projects to generate slides where all the instructions I write are within Python.

Is there any plausibility to having something roughly equivalent to LaTeX's math or MathJAX implemented in Nelsie?

There is no direct support of the Math typesetting in this moment. I am thinking about integration of LaTeX-like rendering from Typst, but it will need more investigation from my side. Another option would be to integrate MathJax but all solutions that I have found so far need a dependency on a browser or NodeJs. Last option would be to use the solution in Elsie, conversion via eps and svg, but it has many disadvantages.
