The issue is not with Rstudio per se but that in devtools' development mode  
help() is modified to show the Rd files in the source directory, as one would 
expect, but doesn't load the RdMacros. So, the issue appears when one is 
development mode. 

Rdpack::viewRd() can be of some help but it currently loads only the RdMacro's 
from its package.

Thanks for the info! Can confirm now that I tried this (I don't usually use 
RStudio). That's an RStudio issue then. My guess is that 'Preview' uses 
tools::Rd2HTML() and that indeed won't automatically understand macros coming 
from mathjaxr (or any add-on package for that matter). This would be an issue 
to raise with the RStudio folks then.

But once a package is installed, the equations are nicely rendered also in the 
RStudio help browser, so that part works.

Best,
Wolfgang
