I would like to request a feature to produce pretty printed math formulas in the dynamic html output.

That's an interesting idea. May I ask if you have any technical experience yourself, and maybe have a solution in mind?

I have tried to do this by embedding the <math> tag in html docs we generate, the problem with this is that browser support for <math> is almost non existing (only recent versions of firefox support it). An alternative would be to render some SVG or other image format from within C# or JS based on the syntax used in the <math> tag. Then it would be easy to switch in the future when browsersupport is better?

MathJax seems to be a well-established standard for embedding mathematics in html: http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html

It's been an amazing time for me to work on Pickles. Now it's finally time for me to lay down the mantle and move on. I am leaving Pickles completely.

I am closing this issue, so that the next maintainer of this repository can start from a clean slate.

Do you want to take over active development and maintenance at Pickles? Contact me directly at dirk dot rombauts at picklesdoc dot com. I will hand over everything Pickles-related to you. This email address will remain active until 11 December 2020.
