markdown-it-dollarmath
Advanced tools
A markdown-it plugin for $-delimited math environments.
See https://executablebooks.github.io/markdown-it-dollarmath/ for a demonstration!
Note there is a similar plugin markdown-it-texmath.
markdown-it-dollarmath package differs in that it is optimised for dollar math:
it is more performant, handles backslash \\ escaping properly, and allows for more configuration.
Options:
allow_space: Parse inline math when there is space after/before the opening/closing $, e.g. $ a $allow_digits: Parse inline math when there is a digit before/after the opening/closing $, e.g. 1$ or $2double_inline: Search for double-dollar math within inline contextsallow_labels: Capture math blocks with label suffix, e.g. $$a=1$$ (eq1)labelNormalizer: Function to normalize the label, by default replaces whitespace with - (to align with HTML5 ids)You should "bring your own" math render, provided as an option to the plugin. This function should take the string plus (optional) options, and return a string. For example, below the KaTeX render is used.
As a Node module:
import { renderToString } from "katex"
import MarkdownIt from "markdown-it"
import dollarmathPlugin from "markdown-it-dollarmath"
const mdit = MarkdownIt().use(dollarmathPlugin, {
allow_space: true,
allow_digits: true,
double_inline: true,
allow_labels: true,
labelNormalizer(label) {
return label.replace(/[\s]+/g, "-")
},
renderer(content, { displayMode }) {
return renderToString(content, { displayMode, throwOnError: false })
},
labelRenderer(label) {
return `<a href="#${label}" class="mathlabel" title="Permalink to this equation">¶<a>`
}
})
const text = mdit.render("$a = 1$")

package.jsonLICENSEREADME.mdrollup.config.jsnode_module dependencies: npm install or npm ci (see Install a project with a clean slate).npm run format, and linting: npm run lint:fix.npm test, or with coverage; npm test -- --coverage.Now you can start to adapt the code in src/index.ts for your plugin, starting with the markdown-it development recommendations.
Modify the test in tests/fixtures.spec.ts, to load your plugin, then the "fixtures" in tests/fixtures, to provide a set of potential Markdown inputs and expected HTML outputs.
On commits/PRs to the main branch, the GH actions will trigger, running the linting, unit tests, and build tests.
Additionally setup and uncomment the codecov action in .github/workflows/ci.yml, to provide automated CI coverage.
Finally, you can update the version of your package, e.g.: npm version patch -m "🚀 RELEASE: v%s" (patch/minor/major), push to GitHub; git push --follow-tags, build; npm run build, and publish; npm publish.
Finally, you can adapt the HTML document in docs/, to load both markdown-it and the plugin (from unpkg), then render text from an input area.
This can be deployed by GitHub Pages.
