@Iaroslav Postovalov just discovered a Kotlin builder for TeX by@khud: https://github.com/kotexio/KoTeX. We've currently started a more ambitious project code-named Snark (as in Lewis Carroll's poem), which is aimed to provide document transformation and generation API as well as builders. I think it would make sense to cooperate on that. @Alex Gladkov is also stuying builders and Android rendering. The snark's code is not public yet, I need to add a few things first.

[khud]

Yep, I would be happy to cooperate.)

FYI: @SerVB

@Iaroslav Postovalov is finishing KMath to LaTeX processor which allows represent formulas from actuall calculateable expressions in Jupyter/LaTeX document. And I've spend some time on a middleware API, which works as an intermediate representation between builder and renderer. So A lot of nice things. I will try to publish what I have ASAP. @Zelenyi developed the front-end builder and of course we are relying a lot on https://github.com/JetBrains/markdown

BTW, I've just added JLaTeXMath rendering to kernel via convenience method

[altavir]

@Ilya Muradyan It would be nice to have a dedicated MIME type for latex and appropriate function in the API.

[altavir]

Something like LATEX to go alongside HTML (I am not sure that the capital case is a way to go though).

[Ilya Muradyan]

renderLatex returns Image which is Renderable. I don't want to make it a part of API because it requires a number of heavy dependencies, but I can rename renderLatex to LATEX

[altavir]

Why an image and not a MathML?

[altavir]

Jupyter lab already has MathJax installed, so it should be rendered automatically. The classic notebook is more complicated problem of course

[Ilya Muradyan]

Images (svg) are supported everywhere and may be easily exported

[altavir]

OK then.
