remark-math

What is remark-math?

The remark-math package is a plugin for the remark markdown processor that allows you to parse and render mathematical expressions written in LaTeX. It supports both inline and block math expressions, making it useful for documents that require mathematical notation.

What are remark-math's main functionalities?

Inline Math

This feature allows you to include inline mathematical expressions within your markdown text. The example demonstrates how to use the remark-math plugin to parse and render an inline math expression.

const remark = require('remark');
const remarkMath = require('remark-math');
const html = require('remark-html');

remark()
  .use(remarkMath)
  .use(html)
  .process('Here is some inline math: $E=mc^2$', function (err, file) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(String(file));
  });

Block Math

This feature allows you to include block mathematical expressions in your markdown text. The example demonstrates how to use the remark-math plugin to parse and render a block math expression.

const remark = require('remark');
const remarkMath = require('remark-math');
const html = require('remark-html');

remark()
  .use(remarkMath)
  .use(html)
  .process('$$\int_0^\infty e^{-x} \, dx = 1$$', function (err, file) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(String(file));
  });
