So is your goal to be a faster MathJax-compatible alternative? We currently use MathJax, but there's definitely a need for faster rendering. As an example, we sometimes run a page load through wkhtmltopdf, and MathJax content can take a LONG time

EDIT: Thanks for replying to my comment in spite of the downvotes




Yep, that's our goal. Khan Academy does a bunch of math rendering, and our exercises were suffereing because of it. Hopefully some time we'll be able to stop using MathJax.


Well you've convinced me. I'm gonna go ahead and download it now and try to use it everywhere MathJax is used. If it works with what we have I might be able to sell this to my bosses


Sounds great! If you have any problems, feel free to report issues on github, or join the #katex room on freenode.
