Insert Equation plugin for Sublime Text

This plugin for Sublime Text 3 offers a command to input, preview and insert a link to an image displaying a TeX formula.

The Insert Equation as Image command shows an input prompt where you can enter a TeX formula and a preview will be displayed while editing it.

The formulas are rendered using an online renderer that generates an image displaying the formula on the fly. The default rendering engine is http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex but this can be changed using the renderer parameter.

When you are happy with the formula, by pressing enter the plugin will create the link pointing to an image showing the formula. The actual format will be determined by the convert_to parameter. If set to "auto" the appropriate target will be determined from the language of the current view. For example when inserting the formula into a Markdown file, the generated code will look like

![formula](http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?%5Csum_%7Bi%3D0%7D%5En%5Cfrac%7B%5Calpha%5Ei%5B%5Ckappa%5D%28w%29%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B%5Cbeta%7D%5Ccdot%20%5Cgamma_i%7D "\sum_{i=0}^n\frac{\alpha^i[\kappa](w)}{\sqrt{\beta}\cdot \gamma_i}")

that generates

For an alternative renderer, try

"renderer": "http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=tx&chl={query}"

The supported target formats are:

• text for just the url
• md for Markdown
• html for an HTML <img> tag
• tex for the TeX formula wrapped in dollars (the rendering will be done by TeX, the plugin's usefulness is in the preview)
• source for the url in double-quotes
• clipboard for copying the url in the clipboard
