Render LaTeX math to SVG mages

LaTeX SVG

This is a fork for latex-formulae which produces SVG images instead of raster PNGs.

Some differences:

• Uses latex and dvisvgm, ImageMagick is not required. (You don't need to tweak policy.xml)

• latex-svg-image supports global cache (off by default), which speedups hakyll site builds.

• latex-svg-hakyll has initFormulaCompilerSVGPure variant, which doesn't need IO to be created. You don't need to thread renderFormulae function through.

• Drawback is that result pages become bigger. For example a formula-heavy https://oleg.fi/gists/posts/2018-12-12-find-correct-laws.html is

  • 576k in size with latex-formulae
  • 2819k in size with latex-svg

  Also rendering SVG images is more expensive.
