Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • On the front end, KaTeX is loaded only on pages that contain math
  • A formula KaTeX cannot render is left to the browser’s MathML
  • Formulas keep the text size the browser gives MathML rather than KaTeX’s default enlargement. A theme that wants math larger sets math and .katex alike
