I believe I saw this on Hackernews when this appeared earlier. However, I'm not sure where this fits in -- too complex for simple stuffs and not suitable for the complex ones either. I also realize that the minified version is a 200+ KB file of JavaScript that one need to carry around with every simple Markdown file. Nonetheless, I like the concept and hope I remember this when the need arises. You might also like to look Texme[1] - Self-rendering Markdown + LaTeX documents. 1. https://github.com/susam/texme

Favorite self-rendering Markdown tool in JavaScript??

Hi HNers. I'm currently using a static site generator, but I am really interested in exploring in-page JS Markdown to HTML tools. So the Markdown to HTML rendering happens as page load time. This would hopefully allow me to forego the static .md -> .html step I use for building my sites. I found one called 'texme' here: https://github.com/susam/texme Do you use or have written a similar tool? I'd like to find what's available and try some of the different tools out. Thanks, Cameron

Hello! I am the author of TeXMe[1]. Congratulations on launching a working project and running it successfully for the past few years. It is always nice to see new projects pertaining to rendering mathematics on the web. TeXMe does support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)[2] when used in standalone HTML files. It however does not support your use case of rendering equations in GitHub README.md files. If TeXMe seems interesting, I would also request you to take a look at Muboard[4] which is a live, interactive, self-rendering mathematics chalkboard for the web built with TeXMe.[4] [1] https://github.com/susam/texme [2] https://github.github.com/gfm [3] https://spec.commonmark.org/ [4] https://muboard.net/

> Open source maintainers abandoning projects due to lack of time and interest. And the occasional demanding users who would rather have us working on their problems instead of our own. Only about a couple of hours ago, I received an issue[1] which from my perspective was lacking in details and appeared like an issue due to not having read the project documentation. Unclear issue details and demanding behaviour can take a toll on the morale of a maintainer of an open source project. Many open source project maintainers maintain their projects in their spare time that they carve out of their busy schedules, family, personal engagements and often a full time job. I wish more people would appreciate this. When an author makes a project open source and maintains it, one should appreciate that they are practically offering the project to other

I considered switching from MathJax to KaTeX for my MathJax-based projects such as https://github.com/susam/texme and http://mathb.in/ but I had to decide against doing so because MathJax supports commands like \begin{align}, \begin{equation}, \label, \eqref, \notag, etc. that KaTeX does not, so switching to KaTeX would break many existing documents written using TeXMe or MathBin. I am going to stick with MathJax for now. Commands supported in MathJax: http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/macros/ Commands supported in KaTeX: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html

Hi Lance (@bachmeier), Thank you for reporting this issue and especially for posting your investigation details on this issue at https://github.com/susam/texme/issues/9. I have now added support for a special purpose environment named "md" to TeXMe. This environment protects LaTeX delimiters ($, $$, etc.) within Markdown code blocks and code spans. More details about this feature is available at the following two URLs: - https://github.com/susam/texme/issues/9#issuecomment-6994876... - https://github.com/susam/texme/blob/6213f86/README.md#markdo...
