  3. Sorry I posted the wrong issue, it’s actually a duplicate of https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/3168 which was filed last August. I guess it’s not that long, but it was annoying for my use of KaTeX on https://mitchellkember.com/notes4u…
  4. > https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/3400 has gone unfixed for a long time. I don't think I'd qualify an issue from the end of last year as "unfixed for a long time".
  5. …the client side is faster than MathJax, but in my experience KaTeX is slightly worse quality, e.g. https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/3400 has gone unfixed for a long time.
  6. KaTeX includes hidden MathML for screen readers. https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/38

  9. Are you talking about https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX ? In that case, that seems to be a JS project/library, so not sure how it could _not_ require JS.
  10. …an issue with the screen readability of LaTeX. We're currently discussing ways to improve this in https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/1848 . If you're seeing other issues please file a bug report.
  11. https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX (another project in this space is https://www.mathjax.org/ )
  12. nvm looked through the source, appears to be https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX

  20. I use Katex https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX It renders client side and its pretty fast. The only problem is matrix notation and latex macros. I been trying in my free time playing with parsers like peg.js to find a way to create a robust…
