Python Overtakes JavaScript as Top Programming Language on GitHub
Python becomes GitHub's top language in 2024, driven by AI and data science projects, while AI-powered security tools are gaining adoption.
rehype-katex
Advanced tools
The rehype-katex package is a plugin for the rehype ecosystem that allows you to transform LaTeX math expressions into HTML using KaTeX. This is particularly useful for rendering mathematical content in web pages.
Basic LaTeX to HTML Conversion
This feature allows you to convert LaTeX math expressions within your HTML content into properly formatted HTML using KaTeX. The code sample demonstrates how to use rehype-katex to process a string containing a LaTeX expression.
const rehype = require('rehype');
const rehypeKatex = require('rehype-katex');
const html = rehype()
.use(rehypeKatex)
.processSync('Here is some math: $E = mc^2$')
.toString();
console.log(html);
Custom KaTeX Options
This feature allows you to customize the behavior of KaTeX by passing options. In the code sample, the `throwOnError` option is set to `false` to prevent errors from being thrown, and `errorColor` is set to customize the color of error messages.
const rehype = require('rehype');
const rehypeKatex = require('rehype-katex');
const html = rehype()
.use(rehypeKatex, { throwOnError: false, errorColor: '#cc0000' })
.processSync('Here is some math: $E = mc^2$')
.toString();
console.log(html);
remark-math is a plugin for the remark ecosystem that parses and renders LaTeX math expressions in Markdown. It is similar to rehype-katex but is used within the remark ecosystem for Markdown processing.
markdown-it-katex is a plugin for the markdown-it Markdown parser that allows you to render LaTeX math expressions within Markdown content. It is similar to rehype-katex but is used within the markdown-it ecosystem.
gatsby-remark-katex is a plugin for Gatsby that allows you to render LaTeX math expressions in Markdown files. It is similar to rehype-katex but is specifically designed for use with Gatsby.
rehype plugin to render elements with a language-math
class with
KaTeX.
This package is a unified (rehype) plugin to render math.
You can add classes to HTML elements, use fenced code in markdown, or combine
with remark-math
for a $C$
syntax extension.
This project is useful as it renders math with KaTeX at compile time, which means that there is no client side JavaScript needed.
A different plugin, rehype-mathjax
, does the same but with
MathJax.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install rehype-katex
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import rehypeKatex from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-katex@7'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import rehypeKatex from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-katex@7?bundle'
</script>
Say our document input.html
contains:
<p>
Lift(<code class="language-math">L</code>) can be determined by Lift Coefficient
(<code class="language-math">C_L</code>) like the following equation.
</p>
<pre><code class="language-math">
L = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 S C_L
</code></pre>
…and our module example.js
contains:
import rehypeDocument from 'rehype-document'
import rehypeKatex from 'rehype-katex'
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {read, write} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(rehypeDocument, {
// Get the latest one from: <https://katex.org/docs/browser>.
css: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/katex.min.css'
})
.use(rehypeKatex)
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process(await read('input.html'))
file.basename = 'output.html'
await write(file)
…then running node example.js
creates an output.html
with:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>input</title>
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport">
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/katex.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<p>
Lift(<span class="katex"><!--…--></span>) can be determined by Lift Coefficient
(<span class="katex"><!--…--></span>) like the following equation.
</p>
<span class="katex-display"><!--…--></span>
</body>
</html>
…open output.html
in a browser to see the rendered math.
This package exports no identifiers.
The default export is rehypeKatex
.

Configuration (TypeScript type).
import {KatexOptions} from 'katex'

See Options on katex.org
for more info.
This plugin supports the syntax extension enabled by
remark-math
.
It also supports math generated by using fenced code:
```math
C_L
```
The content of any element with a language-math
, math-inline
, or
math-display
class is transformed.
The elements are replaced by what KaTeX renders.
Either a math-display
class or using <pre><code class="language-math">
will
result in “display” math: math that is a centered block on its own line.
The HTML produced by KaTeX requires CSS to render correctly.
You should use katex.css
somewhere on the page where the math is shown to
style it properly.
At the time of writing, the last version is:
<!-- Get the latest one from: https://katex.org/docs/browser -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/katex.min.css">
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type Options
.
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, rehype-katex@^7
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
This plugin works with unified version 6+ and rehype version 4+.
Assuming you trust KaTeX, using rehype-katex
is safe.
A vulnerability in it could open you to a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
Be wary of user input and use rehype-sanitize
.
When you don’t trust user content but do trust KaTeX, run rehype-katex
after rehype-sanitize
:
import rehypeKatex from 'rehype-katex'
import rehypeSanitize, {defaultSchema} from 'rehype-sanitize'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import remarkMath from 'remark-math'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(remarkParse)
.use(remarkMath)
.use(remarkRehype)
.use(rehypeSanitize, {
...defaultSchema,
attributes: {
...defaultSchema.attributes,
// The `language-*` regex is allowed by default.
code: [['className', /^language-./, 'math-inline', 'math-display']]
}
})
.use(rehypeKatex)
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('$C$')
console.log(String(file))
