nix-npm-buildpackage VS math-preview

https://github.com/serokell/nix-npm-buildpackage .

The struggle began when I tried to set up nix build to build my webapp. The issue is that clojure have some dependencies and npm has other dependencies. First I managed to get all nom dependencies included by using npm-buildpackage. This seems to be working correctly. However when building the application with shadow-cljs it fails. My guess is that it fails when trying to get dependencies from my deps.edn file.

I’ve spent too much time trying to make mkYarnPackage from nixpkgs to work and finally found https://github.com/serokell/nix-npm-buildpackage, which at least for yarn pretty much worked out of the box for me.

I usually got by with the python stuff in nixpkgs. Other than that for applications I would probably recommend poetry2nix as mentioned. For the nodejs I would use https://github.com/serokell/nix-npm-buildpackage

For equation previews in markdown there's math-preview, but it doesn't have the auto-reveal behavior you want.

https://gitlab.com/matsievskiysv/math-preview gives you inline for math stuff. You can use mathjax or tex and some other stuff.

Perhaps an approach here would be to emulate what math-preview does (excellent, btw... ) and just automatically render inline a src block (or other denoted, fenced block) that encloses a mermaid diagram (math-preview does this with MathJAX).

math-preview got updated to MathJax3. It now supports TeX, MathML and AsciiMath equations.

math-preview should work in any mode. I use it in ein-mode without any issues. Note that it requires a companion nodejs package to work, visit its home page for installation details.

Unfortunately, SVG support in Emacs27 is not very good. You have to build Emacs from source to get better results. Meanwhile, you may use a workaround described in this issue. You can adjust equation size by pressing + and - when your cursor is on the equation. You also can customize the default size.
