remark-math

remark and rehype plugins to support math!

Install

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.

npm install remark-math rehype-katex

Use

Say we have the following file, example.md:

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, looks as follows:

import {readSync} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkMath from 'remark-math'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import rehypeKatex from 'rehype-katex'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'

const file = readSync('example.md')

unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkMath)
  .use(remarkRehype)
  .use(rehypeKatex)
  .use(rehypeStringify)
  .process(file)
  .then((file) => {
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

Wow, that’s a lot! But in a browser, that looks something like this:

Note: you should also use katex.css somewhere on the page to style math properly:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.12.0/dist/katex.min.css" integrity="sha384-AfEj0r4/OFrOo5t7NnNe46zW/tFgW6x/bCJG8FqQCEo3+Aro6EYUG4+cU+KJWu/X" crossorigin="anonymous">

Packages

This repo houses four packages:

remark-math — Parses $ as inlineMath and $$ as math nodes
rehype-katex — Transforms math nodes with KaTeX
rehype-mathjax — Transforms math nodes with MathJax

See their readmes for more information.

Security

Use of rehype-katex or rehype-mathjax renders user content with KaTeX, so any vulnerability in KaTeX can open you to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

Always be wary of user input and use rehype-sanitize.

remark-breaks – Support hard breaks without needing spaces (like on issues)
remark-gfm — GFM (autolink literals, strikethrough, tables, tasklists)
remark-github — Autolink references like in GitHub issues, PRs, and comments
remark-footnotes — Footnotes
remark-frontmatter — Frontmatter (YAML, TOML, and more)
