consider katex instead of mathjax #29

Closed prudhomm closed 6 years ago

prudhomm commented 6 years ago

katex https://khan.github.io/KaTeX/ provides a fast typesetting framework compared to mathjax. Maybe katex does not support (yet) all mathjax support, but it is getting very close.

functions are here https://khan.github.io/KaTeX/function-support.html

katex powers gitter (another chat system)

Thanks for the suggestion. Very interesting indeed. However, it seems that KaTeX isn't function compatible with MathJax yet, and I don't want to break existing functionality. I will definitely consider it once it matures.
