KaTeX: Math typesetting for the web

Not quite yet, but we're working on it. There are some significant features that KaTeX doesn't yet support, but we're working to add them in the near future.

In the meantime, you could use our TeX React component to use KaTeX when possible, and fall back to MathJax only when necessary: http://khan.github.io/react-components/#tex

MathML, MathJax and now KaTeX

Not that there isn't a usecase for this, but is this fully MathJax compatible?

Did Mathjax just become obsolete?

Awesome project ! could you explain me how you are rendering maths symbol without mathjax ?

Any benchmarks against MathJax beyond the visual at the bottom of the page?

A great idea would be that when you copy a math expression from the browser, it would put the LaTeX code in the copy-paste buffer:

  f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
    \hat f(\xi)\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
    \,d\xi

So then I could paste it in an email, in a text editor, in my own LaTeX document, etc.

They have a benchmark page, where you can benchmark for yourself: http://jsperf.com/katex-vs-mathjax

We're using the similar fonts to what MathJax uses (ours have some slight changes in spacing), but we do our own layout calculations to be much faster.
