It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when
used with more recent versions of WordPress.

# WP-KaTeX

## Description

The KaTeX WordPress plugin integrates the super-fast [KaTeX math typesetting engine](https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX)
with your WordPress website. The plugin allows you to put LaTeX in a `[latex]...[/
latex]` shortcode, and beautiful math appears on your post or page.

The plugin also has an option to use the excellent [jsDelivr CDN](http://www.jsdelivr.com)
to load the KaTeX scripts, further increasing the performance of the plugin.

Equations in `[latex display="true"]...[/latex]` will be rendered in display mode(
rather than inline mode) and centered on its own line.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `katex` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Disable any plugins that may interfere with this plugin, such as Jetpack’s Beautiful
    Math module
 4. Use the `[latex]` shortcode in your posts and pages

## FAQ

  Wait – I use MathJax and it’s fine!

KaTeX is fast. It’s really fast, compared to MathJax. In fact, it’s a staggering
35 times faster than MathJax. Your page will load much faster with KaTeX, especially
if it’s heavy with equations.

  How about Jetpack?

Jetpack has a LaTeX plugin that uses the WordPress.com service to render the equations.
However, it uses images, which look ugly when zoomed in, or on high-DPI (“retina”)
displays. Also, it depends on WordPress.com’s servers, and a lot of equations can
make the page slow (too many requests).

It works perfectly! If you don’t know how to use it, then read the documentation
first and quit whining. Fantastic work! A+ from me. Thank you!

helpful. Thanks

### 󠀁[Great + can be used together with quicklatex](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-can-be-used-together-with-quicklatex/)󠁿

 [giannit](https://profiles.wordpress.org/giannit/) November 27, 2019

This plugin is amazing since doesn’t generate images, the big downside of katex 
is that it doesn’t load packages such as tikz. To use all latex packages not loaded
by katex we can use quicklatex plugin. Since it uses the [latex] shortcode too, 
I suggest to edit the katex plugin shortcode from [latex] to [katex]. This can be
done simply by editing the file wp-content\plugins\wp-katex\scripts\frontend.php
at line 41, changing add_shortcode( 'latex', 'katex_handler' ); to add_shortcode('
katex', 'katex_handler' );.
