Overview

About

Maintained by Jonathan CarrollFirst published 2017-09-276 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Given an image of a formula (typeset or handwritten) this package provides calls to the 'Mathpix' service to produce the 'LaTeX' code which should generate that image, and pastes it into a (e.g. an 'rmarkdown') document. See https://docs.mathpix.com/ for full details. 'Mathpix' is an external service and use of the API is subject to their terms and conditions.
