@waylonflinn

This repo is no longer compatible with the latest versions of Katex - which means that it is necessary to use a forked update ala @iktakahiro/markdown-it-katex to get katex working as intended.

Would it please be possible to clarify the status of the repo and whether there are plans to continue maintaining it? If no plans to maintain, whether it would be possible to cede the project to a new active maintainer, maybe @iktakahiro?

Given the name of the repo it would be opportune to keep this working, as this is the most apparent option when people are searching for markdown-it + katex.

Thanks.

markdown-it-katex is compatible with the latest KaTeX, the tests just aren't and package.json says "katex": "^0.6.0". That fork does not change anything significant. But I of course get that this is about the npm package.

There are 5 pending PR, one of them from June 2017. The code has not been updated for the last 2 years, 3 years for most files. There is a script injection issue that has been detected https://github.com/waylonflinn/markdown-it-katex/issues/26

@waylonflinn could you please let us know your thoughts on the repo status?

@iktakahiro should we open issues on your fork instead? https://github.com/iktakahiro/markdown-it-katex/

For those of you using vuepress, note that vuepress-plugin-mathjax is now available. I still prefer katex but given the difficulty in getting any of the katex markdown-it parsers to work for vuepress, the above mathjax option has proved quite useful.

Glad you're all interested in the library. I intend to bring it up to date with the latest version. I'll carve out some time to work on this next week. Thanks for your patience.

@jbe456 thanks for your mention, I'd like to maintain my forked project https://github.com/iktakahiro/markdown-it-katex/

However, If this original package is upgraded, I think that is the best 👍

Hi All, note that there is a proliferation of markdown-it katex plugins developing:

In addition to this repo: markdown-it-texmath @iktakahiro/markdown-it-katex @neilsustc/markdown-it-katex @mathssyfy/markdown-it-katex

Possibly because this repo wasn't maintained for a while. Might be worth trying to consolidate efforts if this repo gets going again.

Note that they all seem to have an issue with vuepress for some reason when running webpack-dev-server. See https://github.com/songololo/markdown-katex-debug and https://github.com/goessner/markdown-it-texmath/issues/13 and https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/1865

@waylonflinn any news?

(http://waylonflinn.github.io/markdown-it-katex/ made me laugh btw)

waylonflinn commented 5 years ago

@yakovlevkll On my radar. Just waiting for a free block of time.

(thanks, glad you liked it)

FYI @waylonflinn Thank you for your time creating this package! Until the repo is updated I've forked the project and updated it to the latest KaTeX, plus a few other changes, as the current setup here was breaking my math.

@everyone else - I've published the updated package to the NPM registry, so you can install it as markdown-it-katexx and use it the same as the original one.
