# markdown-it-texmath
Add TeX math equations to your Markdown documents rendered by [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) parser. [KaTeX](https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX) is used as a fast math renderer.
## Features
Simplify the process of authoring markdown documents containing math formulas.
This extension is a comfortable tool for scientists, engineers and students with markdown as their first choice document format.
* Macro support
* Simple formula numbering
* Inline math with tables, lists and blockquote.
* User setting delimiters:
* `'dollars'` (default)
* inline: `$...$`
* display: `$$...$$`
* display + equation number: `$$...$$ (1)`
* `'brackets'`
* inline: `\(...\)`
* display: `\[...\]`
* display + equation number: `\[...\] (1)`
* `'gitlab'`
* inline: ``$`...`$``
* display: `` ```math ... ``` ``
* display + equation number: `` ```math ... ``` (1)``
* `'julia'`
* inline: `$...$` or ``` ``...`` ```
* display: `` ```math ... ``` ``
* display + equation number: `` ```math ... ``` (1)``
* `'kramdown'`
* inline: ``$$...$$``
* display: `$$...$$`
* display + equation number: `$$...$$ (1)`

## Use with `node.js`
Install the extension. Verify having `markdown-it` and `katex` already installed .
```
npm install markdown-it-texmath
```
Use it with JavaScript.
```js
let kt = require('katex'),
tm = require('markdown-it-texmath').use(kt),
md = require('markdown-it')().use(tm,{delimiters:'dollars',macros:{"\\RR": "\\mathbb{R}"}});
md.render('Euler\'s identity \(e^{i\pi}+1=0\) is a beautiful formula in $\\RR 2$.')
```
## Use in Browser
```html
```
## CDN
Use following links for `texmath.js` and `texmath.css`
* `https://gitcdn.xyz/cdn/goessner/markdown-it-texmath/master/texmath.js`

## Dependencies
* [`markdown-it`](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it): Markdown parser done right. Fast and easy to extend.
* [`katex`](https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX): This is where credits for fast rendering TeX math in HTML go to.

## FAQ
* __`markdown-it-texmath` with React Native does not work, why ?__
* `markdown-it-texmath` is using regular expressions with `y` [(sticky) property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/sticky) and cannot avoid this. The use of the `y` flag in regular expressions means the plugin is not compatible with React Native (which as of now doesn't support it and throws an error `Invalid flags supplied to RegExp constructor`).
