Latex rendering on helppages

Thanks very much for this wonderful extension :heart:

Latex-style equations appear on many help pages. Here I consider the example ?metafor::rma help page:

Even the R-Terminal does a better job (interpreting "( ... )" and "[ .... ]" correctly and removing it):

R-Studio renders it nicely:

I think many users will appreciate this :smile:

Thanks for reporting. I could reproduce the problem.

Does equations in ?rnorm render properly?

[LGraz]

Thanks for your reproducing.

?rnorm renders fine.

looking at the source of the man-page of rnorm one sees that the math is encoded with \deqn{ ...math...} instead of \[ ...math \] (or \eqn{ ...inline-math...} instead \( ...inline-math... \) respectively).

@ManuelHentschel Any thoughts on how we could make help pages render it correctly?

[ManuelHentschel]

That package seems to be using mathjaxr to render equations, which does not work in the help viewer because the corresponding javascript is not loaded/run.
