Mathover

A vscode extension to preview math formulas in comments.

• Works in any document (default: configured for Python).
• Supports Latex, MathML in either inline or display mode (default: display).
• Works offline.
• Caches images.
• Highly configurable.

How to use

Define a trigger pattern as regex by setting matchRegex and matchRegexFlags in extension configurations.

Default pattern looks for # Math: and interprets whatever after it as math to the end of the line.

Installing from source

You need to have git and node.js installed. Go to your vscode extension path:

• Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
• macOS ~/.vscode/extensions
• Linux ~/.vscode/extensions (OSS: ~/.vscode-oss/extensions)

Make sure extension is not already there (remisa.mathover-{version}). Close vscode before running following commands:

# Assuming current path is: ~/.vscode/extensions
git clone https://github.com/yousefvand/mathover.git
cd mathover
npm i
npm run compile

Open vscode and extension is installed (see #1).
