This is a simple server that converts latex math commands (eg. \alpha, \beta) to a SVG file.
Either run locally:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./run_dev.sh
In order to make this work a few latex utilities have to be installed:
$ sudo apt-get -y install texlive-base latexmk texlive-extra-utils pdf2svg
Alternatively just run the provided docker container:
$ docker run -p 0.0.0.0:8000:8000 hoff97/tex2svg
After that you can access http://localhost:8000/?latex=\alpha and get back a beautiful svg file.
This can for example be used to display latex in markdown:
