from the top thread, I think this will get me there:
By the way the website I just sent doesn't seem to work with github but from @daattali's site you can define a function like
latexImg = function(latex){ link = paste0('http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?', gsub('\\=','%3D',URLencode(latex))) link = gsub("(%..)","\\U\\1",link,perl=TRUE) return(paste0('')) }in any inline location you can do
r latexImg('a = \\frac{b}{c}')to place the image you want. note that this has to be Rmarkdown
