Comparison with showdown-katex #3

Closed fabiospampinato closed 5 years ago

fabiospampinato commented 5 years ago

There's another similar implementation here, have you tried? If so could we write a short comparison between the two?

From looking at the git history, it seems that showdown-katex just uses a lightly-modified copy of the old ASCIIMathTeXImg.js by Peter Jipsen. I've set up a branch called compare-showdown-katex in this repository, which adds another column to the test page showing showdown-katex's output for each input. It's missing a few operators, doesn't do stackrel properly, and seems not to do matrices.

Awesome, thanks!
