Add Support for Scientific Notation Using KaTeX or Whatever #177

Closed UsernamesAreFuckedUp closed 1 year ago

UsernamesAreFuckedUp commented 2 years ago

Some bloggers might want to add some math/scientific notation, and there's no option but to take "screenshots" and put the formula or equation as an image. KaTeX claims to be faster and can also be easily self-hosted. For minimalism purposes, you can add a per-post header option such as use_katex which can be either True or False, thus preventing all posts from loading the script. Learn more about KaTeX.

It's something I've been considering for while, but has the potential to add a lot of complexity to what is ostensibly a simple system. Every new feature comes with baggage ;)

In the meantime, you can add scientific notation with upmath as described in the docs.

Moved to the new suggestion board. Github issues reserved for bugs going forward.
