In the matlib package we've developed a suite of functions for generating LaTeX expressions for symbolic / numeric matrices and for doing matrix arithmetic with them for making writing easier. See the vignette LaTeX Equations with latexMatrix, Eqn and matrix2latex for examples.

In this issue, friendly/matlib#64 I raise the possibility of being able to render the results of our functions in an Rstudio viewer pane, and texPreview seems exactly what I'm looking for.

However, AFAICS, texPreview requires a TeXLive / tinytex distribution. I'm using MikTeX on Windows, so I'm a bit reluctant to change just for the purpose of testing.

Your thoughts on this issue would be appreciated.
