Does someone know, if MathJax can be utilized as renderer for a static web site? I do this with KaTeX for my Pelican-based blog successfully, after I found no way to integrate MathJax easily into the workflow.

I believe you use Mathjax's node based tex2svg, and embed the results directly into your static site. https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-demos-node/blob/master/component/tex2svg https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-demos-node/blob/master/co...

  But this would give <svg> only, right? With KaTeX, I can produce MathML, HTML or both at compile time.

I commented elsewhere, but yes it can! It took a bit of head scratching but I got there in the end with my own Node.js based static site generator. This code integrates version 3 of MathJax, which was considerably different to version 2. https://github.com/qubyte/qubyte-codes/blob/master/lib/render.js https://github.com/qubyte/qubyte-codes/blob/master/lib/rende... See in particular the top of that file, and the renderMaths function. I'm not sure how you'll integrate MathJax into Pelican given the language gap, but in principle it's possible.

  My KaTex/Pelican-based solution is here (don't mind - new blog, no real content yet, but the technical side is visible): https://depot.traits.de/ https://depot.traits.de/ Feature test here: https://depot.traits.de/pages/2020/02/21-rest-example.html https://depot.traits.de/pages/2020/02/21-rest-example.html

I'm using KaTeX as well, but there's also https://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/ https://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/ (GitHub: https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML) I want to switch to LaTeXML eventual over KaTeX (via embedded JavaScript), but my blog workflow is based on Emacs Org-mode and it was much easier to replace Org's native MathJax with KaTeX.
