This sounds promising.

Also remember that user-defined macros are possible, so even if you need a lot of contortions to enter the code, you can simplify it at the Rd level.

either including the matchjax js files in the package, or getting them

Hello All,

I am wondering if there has ever been any discussion/consideration given to incorporating 
MathJax (or something similar) into R for rendering equations in .Rd files. I know that 
equations are rendered beautifully in the pdf manuals, but I suspect the majority of 
users primarily look at the html help files when using R. While I am comfortable reading 
something like "B_x(a,b) = integral_0^x t^(a-1) (1-t)^(b-1) dt", it would 
definitely be nicer if this was shown as a 'proper' equation.

Best,
Wolfgang
