Hi Wolfgang, Tiago and Max
thank you for your reply. Let me first apologize. "due to mathjaxr" sounds a
bit harsh after the second reading.
I am very thankful for this nice package. It works really well for all of the
equations I have, and the HTML it creates is just nice.
The only problem is the PDF and I also found out that the align function
(amsmath latex package) is the actual error source. Furthermore, "\cr" is also
giving an error message.
For example, having
\mjdeqn{\begin{align} A_e(t) &= \left(A^T \cdot xi(t) \right)^T \cr &= A \cdot
diag(xi(t)) \end{align}}{Ae(t) = (A^T * xi(t))^T = A * diag(xi(t))}
in the \details section of the .Rd file leads to
"LaTeX errors:
! LaTeX Error: Environment align undefined."
when building with "R CMD build /home/.../package"
but passes with "R CMD build /home/.../package --no-manual".
The aim of the align command is to set several equations in certain horizontal
positions (mostly oriented on the "="s, indicated by the "&"s) one below the
other.
I read about the possibility to use \mjtdeqn instead of \mjdeqn to specify
LaTeX commands for the PDF and HTML pages differently.
However, if the pdf necessarily needs to be created when submitting the
package, it would be better to have the equations aligned there as well.
For readability it would be a plus as I don't just have a couple of equations
and equation systems.
We are using the following setup:
Added "mathjaxr" to Imports and RdMacros fields of the DESCRIPTION file.
Added import(mathjaxr) to the NAMESPACE file.
Added "\loadmathjax" to the \description section.
I would be grateful for any idea how to convince the pdfTeX of the align
command or a similar solution.
Marc

Betreff: RE: R package submission fails due to mathjaxr package
Hi Marc,
mathjaxr maintainer here. Can you provide a minimal reproducible example
illustrating the problem? If this is another case where the LaTeX command for
Mathjax does not work directly for creating the pdf (or vice-versa), then I
would like to document this (and a possible workaround) as was done here:
https://github.com/wviechtb/mathjaxr#issues
Best,
Wolfgang
