Build Status Latest Version

A pandoc filter to render math equations using KaTeX. It is powered by the katex Rust crate.

Install

cargo install pandoc-katex

When building from the source, the following dependencies are required:

  • gcc and patch for Linux, macOS, and MinGW/MSYS2.
  • msvc for Windows.

Alternatively, you can download the pre-built binaries from releases.

Usage

pandoc -t html --filter pandoc-katex \
  --css "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@$(pandoc-katex --katex-version)/dist/katex.min.css" \
  --css "https://pandoc.org/demo/pandoc.css" \
  --standalone -o output.html /path/to/input.md

You can also pass additional flags to custom KaTeX rendering. For example, to use custom LaTeX macros:

pandoc -t json /path/to/input.md | \
  pandoc-katex --macro '\RR:\mathbb{R}' | \
  pandoc -f json -t html \
    --css "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@$(pandoc-katex --katex-version)/dist/katex.min.css" \
    --css "https://pandoc.org/demo/pandoc.css" \
    --standalone -o output.html

For more flags, see pandoc-katex --help.

Configuration File

Options can also be read from an external configuration file. The configuration file should be in .toml format. For example:

fleqn = true

[macros]
"\\RR" = "\\mathbb{R}"

The configuration file path can either be passed as a command line argument --config-file /path/to/config.toml or set by environment variable PANDOC_KATEX_CONFIG_FILE.

The configuration file accepts the following options. Please refer to https://katex.org/docs/options.html for more information.
