I haven't done any big investigations on this in quite awhile; how does MathJax compare to something like KaTeX nowadays?

- occamrazor 3y agoKeTeX is faster, but supports a limited subset of LaTeX. MathJax supports essentially everything. For most mathuses in blog posts KaTeX is going to provide a bettter user experience, but if you want to put a math paper on a webpageMathJax is the way to go.
- tombert 3y agoInteresting; does MathJax support the AMS extensions? That was my issue with KaTeX in the past.
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoYes, it does. Supported extensions here [1]. Two more notable ones are mathtools and physics, both of which make writing latex on the web much more pleasant.

- singhrac 3y agoI think MathJax has really caught up in speed in the past few (5) years with MathJax 3. I would pick MathJax today for compatibility reasons.
- thatxliner 3y agoI haven't used MathJax simply because KaTeX is far easier to use than MathJax.
- romwell 3y agoKaTeX is so plug-and-play for simple LaTeX in web pages that I never bothered thinking about anything else
- Turing_Machine 3y agoThere's also Temml (a lightweight fork of KaTex). https://github.com/ronkok/Temml https://github.com/ronkok/Temml
