Thank you for reply, 

  I made some modification, the diff (against helpr 0.1.2.2) 

  is attached. 

  What I did are 

  1. Install helpr by install.packages() 

  2. Download the MathJax distribution and extract it under 

   $R_HOME/library/public/_script 

  3. Create a new html snippet file _mathjax_config.html in 
  
  the $R_HOME/library/view directory and then make index.html, 

  package.html, topic.html, source.html, and whistle.html  

  include the line 

  <%= helpr:::render_snippet("mathjax_config") %>


  4. modify \\deqn part of th parse-rd.R from 
  
    "<code>... </code>" to "\\[ ... \\]"

    and similarly, for \\eqn part from 

    "<code>... </code>" to "$ ... $".


  The screenshot is also attached. 

  The rest question is, how to make R download the MathJax, 

  while install helpr?



  Any comments are appreciated.
