Extend LaTeX Math Support in mathPlugin #2

@mayank1513

Description

@mayank1513

The mathPlugin currently does a great job of converting math nodes (generated by remark-math) into DOCX format. However, it has limitations when handling:

Supported: Standard inline and block math expressions.
Missing Support For:

  • LaTeX environments (matrix, cases, align, etc.)
  • Equation alignments

🔗 Blocking Issue in docx Library: [dolanmiu/docx#2993](dolanmiu/docx#2993)
🔗 Proposed Feature in docx Library: [dolanmiu/docx#2994](dolanmiu/docx#2994)

Why This Matters:

  • Many Markdown users rely on LaTeX-style formatting for advanced math.
  • Alignments and matrix structures are critical for academic/scientific documents.

Next Steps (After docx Update):

  • Extend mathPlugin to support these missing features.
  • Ensure proper DOCX rendering without breaking existing functionality.

📌 Temporary Workaround: Users can manually adjust equations post-export, but a native fix would greatly improve usability.
