R help - Jan 2021 - roxygen2 & markdown & math

Hi,

I like to make my package documentation with markdown which is supported 
since roxygen2 6.0.0 . I used a math expression like $t_n \appox N(0,1)$ 
which leads in the package check to "unknown macro '\approx'".

I guess I get the warning because math is not supported in markdown. Are 
there any plans to support something like $...$ or $$...$$? Or there are 
general problems?

Best Sigbert

Dear Sigbert,

The mathjaxr package provides this:

https://cran.r-project.org/package=mathjaxr

Best,
Wolfgang
