So, for this extension, we basically took advantage of this feature: utilizing GitHub’s equation rendering server to embed SVG equations in GitHub. How? Well, GitHub has their own LaTeX rendering server, which takes a encoded math equation, and returns the rendered SVG. Rendering to remote SVGsĪlthough GitHub won’t render math equations in Markdown files, they actually DO render LaTeX inside Jupyter notebooks. “So what’s with the two options: ‘remote’ and ‘local’?”, you may ask. Then, add the following to the footer.html partial, outside of the body tag, but inside the html tag.Right click and invoke command from the context menu Note that your footer.html partial will override the theme’s. Since I have a theme, I copied the theme’s footer.html partial and pasted it into my own footer.html partial. So, create a footer.html partial in your layouts/partials directory, if you don’t have one already. I’m going to add it in my footer partial. In this file, just import the required files.Īfter creating the katex.html partial file, now you have to include it in some element that is common in all your built site files, such as a header or footer element. To do this, create a katex.html partial in your layouts/partials directory of your Hugo project.

We’re going to do this using Hugo partials. To get KaTex to work, you must import their JavaScript and CSS files. Think of them like html files that you can insert into any of your pages. Hugo partials are just single page templates. Activate the KaTeX partial in the markdown file.Integrate the KateX partial in your header or footer element.

There are three steps to follow so you can write LaTeX in markdown for KaTeX to use. To integrate KaTeX in my Hugo blog, I used the Mmark Markdown processor rather than Hugo’s default Blackfriday processor. I chose it over MathJax because it performs substantially faster.

Just recently, I added support to render LaTeX math equations with the rendering engine KaTeX for this blog. I recommend reading this post for up-to-date instructions. NOTICE: This method will NO LONGER WORK on recent version of Hugo.
