Extension summary

This extension aims to overcome the platform dependencies of other TeX/LaTeX web extensions by rendering formulae as images that can be used wherever PNG images are supported. The generated image is injected with useful metadata (namely, the TeX code for screen reader compatibility) then automatically copied to the clipboard for pasting anywhere that images (or their source attributes) are supported.

In Google Docs and Slides, double-double clicking an existing TeX Math Here creation will copy the TeX code to the popup for its next instance.
