render_equation({ latex: "\\frac{-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}", format: "svg" })

Render a circuit:

render_tikz({
  tikz: "\\begin{circuitikz}\\draw (0,0) to[R, l=$R_1$] (2,0) to[C, l=$C_1$] (4,0);\\end{circuitikz}",
  packages: ["circuitikz"],
  format: "svg",
  saveTo: "circuit.svg"
})

Self-Hosting
