tui-math

Render LaTeX math beautifully in terminal UIs with ratatui.

Quadratic Formula

Features

LaTeX to Unicode terminal rendering
MathML intermediate format support
Native ratatui widget
Unicode superscripts/subscripts when possible
2D rendering for fractions, roots, big operators
Greek letters and mathematical symbols

Installation

[dependencies]
tui-math = "0.1"

Usage

Simple rendering

use tui_math::render_latex;

let rendered = render_latex(r"\frac{x^2 + 1}{y}")?;
println!("{}", rendered);

As a ratatui widget

use tui_math::MathWidget;
use ratatui::widgets::Block;

let widget = MathWidget::new(r"\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx")
    .block(Block::bordered().title("Math"));

frame.render_widget(widget, area);

Stateful widget for caching

use tui_math::{MathWidgetState, StatefulMathWidget};

// Create state once
let mut state = MathWidgetState::new();
state.update(r"\sum_{i=1}^n i^2", true);

// Render multiple times without re-parsing
let widget = StatefulMathWidget::new();
widget.render(area, buf, &state);

Examples

Run the interactive demo:

cargo run

Or the simple CLI example:

cargo run --example simple

Rendering Examples

Formula	Screenshot
Integral: `\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}`
Sum: `\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}`
Derivative: `\frac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{n-1}`
Euler: `e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0`
Fraction: `\frac{a + b}{c + d}`
Square Root: `\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}`
