LaTeX in Jekyll

Katex Integration

How to use it

I’ve added support for KaTeX. All you have to do is include katex: true in the YAML Front Matter

katex: true

How it works

1. The custom header loads the KaTeX javascript/css.

    {% if page.katex %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.9.0-alpha2/katex.min.css" integrity="sha384-exe4Ak6B0EoJI0ogGxjJ8rn+RN3ftPnEQrGwX59KTCl5ybGzvHGKjhPKk/KC3abb" crossorigin="anonymous">
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.9.0-alpha2/katex.min.js" integrity="sha384-OMvkZ24ANLwviZR2lVq8ujbE/bUO8IR1FdBrKLQBI14Gq5Xp/lksIccGkmKL8m+h" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    {% endif %}
   

2. The custom footer calls /assets/js/katex_render.js which renders the LaTeX elements.

    {% if page.katex %}
    <script src="{{ "/assets/js/katex_render.js" | relative_url }}"></script>
    {% endif %}
   

Now, thanks to $\KaTeX$ I can render pretty math in the browser

Thanks to Type Theme for the inspiration/code.
