|
||
|
||
KaTeX is a fast, easy-to-use JavaScript library for TeX math rendering on the web.
|
||
|
||
* **Fast:** KaTeX renders its math synchronously and doesn't need to reflow the page. See how it compares to a competitor in [this speed test](http://jsperf.com/katex-vs-mathjax/).
|
||
* **Print quality:** KaTeX’s layout is based on Donald Knuth’s TeX, the gold standard for math typesetting.
|
||
* **Self contained:** KaTeX has no dependencies and can easily be bundled with your website resources.
|
||
* **Server side rendering:** KaTeX produces the same output regardless of browser or environment, so you can pre-render expressions using Node.js and send them as plain HTML.
|
||
|
||
KaTeX supports all major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, and IE 8 - IE 11.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
You can [download KaTeX](https://github.com/khan/katex/releases) and host it on your server or include the `katex.min.js` and `katex.min.css` files on your page directly from a CDN:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.1.1/katex.min.css">
|
||
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.1.1/katex.min.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### In-browser rendering
|
||
|
||
Call `katex.render` with a TeX expression and a DOM element to render into:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
katex.render("c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}", element);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Server side rendering or rendering to a string
|
||
|
||
To generate HTML on the server or to generate an HTML string of the rendered math, you can use `katex.renderToString`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var html = katex.renderToString("c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}");
|
||
// '<span class="katex">...</span>'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Make sure to include the CSS and font files, but there is no need to include the JavaScript.
|
||
|
||
#### Rendering options
|
||
|
||
You can provide an object of options as the last argument to `katex.render` and `katex.renderToString`. Available options are:
|
||
|
||
- `displayMode`: `boolean`. If `true` the math will be rendered in display mode, which will put the math in display style (so `\int` and `\sum` are large, for example), and will center the math on the page on its own line. If `false` the math will be rendered in inline mode. (default: `false`)
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
katex.render("c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}", element, { displayMode: true });
|
||
```
