KaTeX

The KaTeX WordPress plugin enables you to use the fastest TeX math typesetting engine on your WordPress website. You can include TeX inside a [katex]...[/katex] shortcode or in a Gutenberg block. Either way the math will render beautifully on your website. When using Gutenberg blocks, the equations will render immediately inside your editor!

Equations in blocks or using the [katex display=true]...[/katex] shortcode will render on page in display mode–with bigger symbols–centered on their own line.

For compatibility with other LaTeX plugins, this plugin optionally supports [latex]...[/latex] shortcodes.

• Various internal improvements based on WordPress’s Plugin Check.

2.2.4

• Upgrade KaTeX resources to v0.16.22.

2.2.3

2.2.2

• More robustly render shortcodes.
• Fix undefined variable notice.

2.2.1

• Trigger rendering of KaTeX in more cases when the DOM is mutated (in 2.2.0, accidentally only a limited set of cases was checked).

2.2.0

• Trigger rendering of KaTeX when the DOM is mutated by inserting a .katex-eq node. This allows rendering KaTeX markup that is not present when the page is loaded.
• Upgrade KaTeX resources to v0.13.13.

2.1.2

• Always load JavaScript and CSS assets by default. An option is introduced to switch to the old behavior of loading only when KaTeX is used on the page.
• Make it easier for other code to manually trigger rendering of KaTeX.
• Upgrade KaTeX resources to v0.13.0.

2.1.1

• Remove <br> tags added by WordPress to shortcode output.

2.1.0

• Prevent WordPress from texturizing KaTeX (prior to this change, WordPress would sometimes change e.g. apostrophes to quotation marks).
• Fix issue where custom class names on the KaTeX block sometimes broke editor rendering.
• Add some keywords to allow searching for the KaTeX block in the editor’s block list.
• Update KaTeX resources to v0.12.0.

2.0.2

• Fix block editor variable scoping.

2.0.1

• Upgrade KaTeX resources to v0.11.1.

2.0.0

• Support adding CSS classes to KaTeX Gutenberg Blocks to help with styling. Backwards compatibility note: KaTeX Gutenberg Blocks are now rendered wrapped in a div element on which classes wp-block-katex-display-block and katex-eq are set. You can add more classes to this div through WordPress’s post editor. Previously, KaTeX Gutenberg Blocks were rendered wrapped in an unclassed span. KaTeX shortcodes are still wrapped inside a span with only the class katex-eq set. If you depend on old behavior for styling, you might need to update your styling rules.
