Thank you for mentioning this detail!
At least in Debian packages, R's copy of KaTeX lives in /usr/share: per
Debian policy, "share" is for human-readable files like KaTeX, and
"lib" is for shared libraries, compiled code and the like.
For a copy of R built from source, it's not a problem:
file.path(R.home(), 'doc', 'html') does point to where KaTeX lives.
For a copy of R packaged into *.deb, the right path can be obtained
using file.path(R.home("doc"), "html"):
--- src/library/tools/R/utils.R (revision 84280)
+++ src/library/tools/R/utils.R (working copy)
@@ -1788,7 +1788,7 @@
ctx <- NULL
function() {
if(is.null(fun) && requireNamespace("V8", quietly = TRUE)) {
- dir <- file.path(R.home(), "doc", "html")
+ dir <- file.path(R.home("doc"), "html")
ctx <<- V8::v8("window")
ctx$source(file.path(dir, "katex", "katex.js"))
## Provides additional macros:
This path is also valid for an R build launched from source (without
"make install"). I don't know whether this would break a
differently-packaged build of R, though.
