TODOs

• find pos of equations and place images
• keep track of images generated, keep it in memory and don't generate each time
• scrolling with the buffer, (taken care by hologram itself)
• exposing options to configure custom tex engine and custom preamble
• proper installation instructions

This was started for me to learn and test similar impl for neorg,- not for daily use latex redering base implementation i took from Vhirro's neorg's unmerged branch, https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg/commit/73ca7b63c79a76d5cd8a3f0b39c5d171c1406fdc though there are a lot of changes now as this is using a different latex engine
