Efficiently iterate, refine and share snippets of LaTeX in R with ease.
`texPreview` compiles LaTeX directly into images from the R console to view in the RStudio viewer pane, Shiny apps and RMarkdown documents.
## Functionality
- __Supports__: character, knitr, kableExtra, xtable, texreg, equatiomatic classes
- __Extendable__: `S3` methods can be written for the main call, `texPreview::tex_preview`, to use with new classes for rendering and printing.
- __Rstudio Addin__: Users can highlight text in the editor and invoke preview automatically.
- __RMarkdown__ document compatible with all document outputs
- __Shiny__ compatible via `shiny::renderImage` or as part of htmlwidgets like `slickR::slickR`.- __Pan and Zoom functionality__: When the output is set to 'svg' the default output to the viewer is `svgPanZoom::svgPanZoom`, which allows for panning and zooming on the image in the viewer. If the package is not installed a static image will be loaded.
- __System Requirements__:
- Must have pdflatex in PATH, Windows users can install by running [installr::install.MikTeX](http://talgalili.github.io/installr/reference/install.MikTeX.html)
- TeX libraries that are used: `standalone`, `xcolor`, `booktabs`, `multirow`, `array`, `helvet`, `amsmath`, `rotating`, `listings`, `graphicx`, `setspace`, `caption`
- Using [tinytex](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex) you can run
```
install.packages('tinytex')
tinytex::tlmgr_install(c('standalone', 'xcolor', 'booktabs', 'multirow', 'amsmath',
'listings', 'setspace', 'caption', 'graphics', 'tools', 'psnfss', 'varwidth',
'colortbl', 'epstopdf-pkg', 'pgf','makeindex'))
```
- To Check if the system is in compliance with these libraries run `texPreview::check_requirements()`.
- Ghostscript: If you are installing TeX with [tinytex](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex) make sure to install ghostscript onto your system.
