Description
I find the ability to insert tikz pictures by simply calling {#label} when rendering to PDF to be extremely elegant and practical, unfortunately the pictures do not seem to render for HTML outputs.
Trying to find a workaround I found the TikZJax library. It looks like it could be helpfu for this.
