I was reading through the Javis docs, and I noticed that it seemed only to support MathJaX-rendered SVGs as ways of rendering LaTeX. I'd like to propose two other ways one could do this:

  • Use MathTeXEngine.jl to render LaTeX equations as characters and lines (pure Julia!). This is what Makie uses in its native, fast TeX rendering implementation, by the way.
  • Use an approach similar to the old one from MakieTeX.jl (latexstring/latex document -> compiled latex as pdf -> SVG through dvisvgm). There is a lightweight TeX compiler one can use which is called tectonic, which also ships as a JLL.

I would be happy to help guide or link to some code. This seems like a cool project!
