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`][remark-math] for a `$C$` syntax extension. ## When should I use this? 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`][rehype-mathjax], does the same but with [MathJax][]. ## Install This package is [ESM only][esm]. In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]: ```sh npm install rehype-katex ``` In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]: ```js import rehypeKatex from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-katex@7' ``` In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]: ```html ``` ## Use Say our document `input.html` contains: ```html

Lift(L) can be determined by Lift Coefficient (C_L) like the following equation.


  L = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 S C_L

``` …and our module `example.js` contains: ```js 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: . 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: ```html input

Lift() can be determined by Lift Coefficient () like the following equation.

``` …open `output.html` in a browser to see the rendered math. ## API This package exports no identifiers. The default export is [`rehypeKatex`][api-rehype-katex]. ### `unified().use(rehypeKatex[, options])` Render elements with a `language-math` (or `math-display`, `math-inline`) class with [KaTeX][]. ###### Parameters * `options` ([`Options`][api-options]) — configuration ###### Returns Transform ([`Transformer`][unified-transformer]). ### `Options` Configuration (TypeScript type). ###### Type ```ts import {KatexOptions} from 'katex' type Options = Omit ``` See [*Options* on `katex.org`][katex-options] for more info. ## Markdown This plugin supports the syntax extension enabled by [`remark-math`][remark-math]. It also supports math generated by using fenced code: ````markdown ```math C_L ``` ```` ## HTML 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 `

` will
result in “display” math: math that is a centered block on its own line.

## CSS

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:

```html


```

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [`Options`][api-options].

## Compatibility

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+.

## Security

Assuming you trust KaTeX, using `rehype-katex` is safe.
A vulnerability in it could open you to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][wiki-xss] attack.
Be wary of user input and use [`rehype-sanitize`][rehype-sanitize].

When you don’t trust user content but do trust KaTeX, run `rehype-katex`
*after* `rehype-sanitize`:

```js
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))
```
