latex_kit 0.0.3

A lightweight, pure Dart Flutter package for rendering LaTeX symbols.

• Pure Dart: Compiles natively for all platforms without relying on WebViews or native platform channels.

Dependencies & Acknowledgements

latex_kit utilizes or derives code from the following packages:

• glyph_path - Used exclusively for precise text measurement. It allows the renderer to extract the exact ink boundaries of the KaTeX fonts instead of relying on standard text line boxes, ensuring pixel-perfect math layouts

• KaTeX - The original web library whose font sets and spacing rules were adapted for this Flutter package.
