hexo-math

Embed KaTeX and MathJax in Hexo post/page via tag plugins. Equations are rendered in Hexo (server-side), so browser-side javascript library is not needed and should be removed. CSS stylesheets are included by default but can be easily replaced.

Installation

$ npm i hexo-math --save

• Requires Hexo 5+

Usage

KaTeX

{% katex '{options}' %}
content
{% endkatex %}

Examples

{% katex %}
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{% endkatex %}

Override front-matter and global options for a particular content. Options must be specified in JSON format.

{% katex '{ "output": "mathml", "felqn": true, "minRuleThickness": 0.05, "throwOnError": true }' %}
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{% endkatex %}

MathJax

{% mathjax '{options}' %}
content
{% endmathjax %}

Examples

{% mathjax %}
\frac{1}{x^2-1}
{% endmathjax %}

Override front-matter and global options for a particular content. Options must be specified in JSON format.

{% mathjax '{ "conversion": { "em": 14 }, "tex": { "tags": "ams" }, "svg": { "exFactor": 0.03 } }' %}
\frac{1}{x^2-1}
{% endmathjax %}

Per-article configuration

Override the global options via the front-matter of an article (post/page) basis.

---
title: On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies
categories: Physics
date: 1905-06-30 12:00:00
katex: false
mathjax: false
---

Options

Disable math renderer in an article:

---
katex: false
mathjax: false
---

Override global options:

---
katex:
  output: 'mathml'
  felqn: true
  minRuleThickness: 0.05
  throwOnError: true
mathjax:
  conversion:
    em: 14
  tex:
    tags: 'ams'
  svg:
    exFactor: 0.03

Global Options

# _config.yml
math:
  katex:
    css: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.12.0/dist/katex.min.css'
    options:
      throwOnError: false
  mathjax:
    css: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hexo-math@4.0.0/dist/style.css'
    options:
      conversion:
        display: false
      tex:
      svg:

• css: Location of stylesheet.
  • Specify a relative path if you're self-hosting the stylesheet.
    • Example: css: '/css/style.css' refers to source/css/style.css or themes/<theme-name>/source/css/style.css.
  • It can be disabled (css: false) if the installed theme has already included one.
    • KaTeX: defaults to the official stylesheet.
    • MathJax: defaults to style.css

KaTeX

  katex:
    options:
      throwOnError: false

• options: Refer to the documentation for available options.

MathJax

  mathjax:
    options:
      conversion:
        display: false
      tex:
      svg:

• options: Rendering options.
  • conversion: Conversion options.
  • tex: TeX input options.
  • svg: SVG output options.

Configuration priority

Unique options are combined, if there is any duplicate options, argument overrides front-matter, front-matter overrides global options.

Example:

{% katex '{ "output": "html", "felqn": true }' %}
content
{% endkatex %}

# front-matter
---
katex:
  output: 'mathml'
  minRuleThickness: 0.05
  throwOnError: true
---

# _config.yml
math:
  katex:
    options:
      minRuleThickness: 0.03
      maxExpand: 900

Following options will be parsed as argument for that specific content:

{
  output: 'html',
  felqn: true,
  minRuleThickness: 0.05,
  throwOnError: true,
  maxExpand: 900
}
