KaTeX is a cross-browser JavaScript library that displays mathematical notation in web browsers. It puts special emphasis on being fast and easy to use.[2]
It was initially developed by Khan Academy,[3] and became one of the top five trending projects on GitHub in September 2014.[4]
Features
KaTeX rendering of math claims to be:
- Fast: It renders its math synchronously and doesn't need to reflow the page.
- Print quality: Its layout is based on TeX.
- Self contained: It has no dependencies, so it can be easily bundled.
- Capable of server-side rendering: it has an option to generate HTML on the server (so, for example, one can pre-render expressions using Node.js and send them as plain HTML).
KaTeX implements a smaller subset of LaTeX's mathematical notation features than MathJax.[2][5]
