Latex \ (R)Markdown Option

Open M-Colley opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I think the package is great and will help many many people!

However, i scientific writing, often Latex is used (e.g., Overleaf). In Latex, there are some specific characters that need to be escaped (e.g. \ before %) or, as shown in the link, have special commands.

It would be great to provide an option to generate Latex-appropriate text.

For a start, escaping % would already be useful. Other relevant adjustments could follow, but I don't have a great overview yet. An example could be Chi-Sqaure (Latex: $\chi^2$).

Hey @M-Colley - this is definitely down the pipeline! We hope eventually to support use also in RMarkdown - both for text and table outputs.
