Did you have any feedbacks from the EAF side ?
Thanks :)

Thanks for your interesting idea. Guppy seems to use Katex as the rendering backend. I think I can have a try.

After investigating Emacs xwidget under Linux, I found it very limiting and hardly useable. The xwidget flicker a lot when typing in the minibuffer (required by xwidget-...-insert-string). I'm not sure whether the above-mentioned proposal would work at all under Linux. Should be fine under Mac os though.

Then the Mac OS community will be more than happy :)
This is already amazing !

Perhaps a dev with good Linux xwidget experience may help the development for this specific OS or the next xwidget release will make things easier.
Release it even if it's not perfect and let's see where it goes.
And congrats for this first step 👍

@fbob Thanks for the warm words. After communicating with the author of EAF (https://github.com/manateelazycat/emacs-application-framework), for Linux potentially we could potentially use that instead of xwidget. This requires more work on the EAF side so that it can integrate with emacs childframe, which hopefull would happen during Sept or Oct this year. I guess I will defer the Linux part until EAF is ready.

Excellent idea (EAF is also an excellent project), I'm very very excited to see something coming out. 👍
And no doubt that it will be immensely useful for the community.
Many thanks for your kind feedback :)

I would also very much like to use webkit-katex-render through eaf, currently I cannot use it at all under linux because of flicker issues with webkit.
