FR: show REPL output in LaTeX (if gui) #143

Open larrasket opened 11 months ago

It would be great if it had an option to process equations like sagemath show

Example: image

Not sure how this is related to julia-repl? I guess first of all you'd need some graphic support in the terminal emulator (Sixel), which vterm does not have afaik :(

On Julia side, one could built something like SixelTerm.jl to overload show methods for symbolic equations. Symbolics.jl already supports latex output, and MathTeXEngine.jl + CairoMakie could be used to create the bitmaps. So it looks like outside of Emacs all tools required are just waiting to be connected.

The example I provided is from an emacs shell too, see https://github.com/sagemath/sage-shell-mode, however, I'm not sure whether it uses vterm or not. I think that this would be better implemented just by processing any latex-formatted output like the way Org-mode does it, without interpolating the Julia REPL itself.

I concur with @hexaeder, this should ideally be handled via Julia's display mechanisms, and then eg displayed as SVG. That is already handled just fine.
