Why not add katex and markdown-it as dependency?

[wafer-li]

Since it requires katex and markdown-it, I think it had better add katex and markdown-it in dependencies not devDependencies

I prefer to leave it to the responsibility of the environment (like mdmath) using markdown-it-texmath and possibly other markdown-it-xxx plugins to care about the proper addition of markdown-it.

Then you can decide to include katex as well, or alternatively another TeX rendering module. markdown-it-texmath is basically designed so, that it should be able to function properly with other rendering libraries (in future) also.

The question dependencies vs devDependencies is discussed controversly here and there.

Please note, as devDependencies is more liberal,

... there is no way to omit modules listed under dependencies.

OK，I see.
