KaTeX

KaTeX is a typesetting library and web math renderer that transforms TeX and LaTeX mathematical notation into high-quality HTML and CSS for web browsers. It functions as a math notation parser and LaTeX to HTML converter, capable of operating as both a client-side library and a server-side math renderer to generate static HTML expressions.

The project supports a wide range of specialized mathematical rendering, including chemical equation rendering, Bra-ket notation for quantum mechanics, and mathematical logic typesetting. It provides comprehensive controls for structural layouts such as matrices and aligned equations, as well as precision typographic refinements for symbol spacing, font scaling, and delimiter sizing.

The system includes a variety of rendering strategies, such as automatic DOM scanning, canvas rendering, and HTML string generation. It also features security mechanisms to prevent resource exhaustion and restrict unauthorized external asset loading, alongside a command-line interface for converting notation to HTML.

Features

LaTeX to HTML Converters - Transforms LaTeX source code into accessible web content while preserving complex mathematical structures and alignment.
Recursive Descent Parsers - Transforms TeX input strings into an internal abstract syntax tree by recursively analyzing tokens.
Web Math Renderers - Converts mathematical expressions into formatted HTML strings or DOM elements for fast client-side or server-side display.
Macro Expansion Engines - Resolves custom command shortcuts into full notation strings before the final rendering pass.
Math Structural Layouts - Provides environments for arranging expressions using aligned equations, matrices, and multi-column arrays.
Mathematical Typesetting - Provides specialized typesetting for symbols and notation used in set theory and mathematical logic.
Equation Renderers - Implements tools for displaying math expressions with layout controls like horizontal scrolling and line breaks.
LaTeX Math Rendering - Renders TeX and LaTeX mathematical notation into high-quality HTML and CSS for web browsers.
Mathematical Glyph Collections - Provides a comprehensive collection of mathematical operators, Greek letters, and specialized glyphs.
Mathematical Notation Rendering - Processes TeX syntax and custom macros to output precise typographic mathematical symbols and layouts.
Typesetting Alignment Rules - Calculates spacing, alignment, and font sizes based on predefined mathematical typesetting standards.
Static HTML Generators - Generates static HTML strings from mathematical notation for use in server-side rendering or pre-calculated content.
Unicode Typography Renderers - Utilizes specialized fonts to render Greek letters and mathematical symbols via Unicode support.
Operator Spacing - Ensures correct typographic spacing for standard functions, big operators, and binary relations.
Formula Color Formatting - Supports modifying font family, weight, size, and color to distinguish different parts of a formula.
Custom Macro Definitions - Supports the creation of reusable command shortcuts that expand into specific strings or functional outputs.
Delimiter Scaling - Provides automatic and manual scaling of brackets and parentheses to fit enclosed mathematical content.
Math Font Scaling - Provides controls to adjust the size of rendered math relative to surrounding text.
Math Text Styling - Supports bold, italic, fraktur, calligraphic, and blackboard bold fonts in expressions.
Mathematical Annotations - Supports drawing strikethroughs, boxes, or overbraces to highlight and label parts of an expression.
Mathematical Spacing - Allows precision horizontal gap insertion using fixed-width spacers or custom distance units.
KaTeX Configurations - Provides configuration settings to adjust the visual alignment and style of rendered mathematical expressions.
Chemical Formulas - Implements specialized typesetting for chemical formulas and equations.
Typographic Accents - Allows adding markings like bars, hats, tildes, and vectors over or under symbols.
Dirac Notation - Provides specialized formatting for Dirac bra-ket notation used in quantum mechanics.
Automatic Visual Rendering - Implements a system that automatically detects TeX delimiters in text nodes and renders them as mathematical visuals.
Symbol Font Mappings - Maps specific mathematical symbols to specialized web font files for consistent glyph representation.
Glyph Positioning - Uses precise pixel offsets and absolute coordinates to place mathematical glyphs and symbols.
Expression Line Breaking - Provides functionality to insert automatic or hard line breaks in expressions to prevent layout overflow.
Math Vertical Positioning - Implements precision positioning of elements using offsets and centering commands to create complex structures.
DOM Element Injection Utilities - Ships utilities to programmatically convert TeX expressions into HTML and inject them into the web page DOM.
Server-Side Renderers - Generates static HTML math expressions on a server to improve page load times and SEO.
Server-Side Rendering - Generates rendered math on the server to improve client-side load times.

c3c is the compiler for the C3 programming language, transforming source code into executable binaries, static libraries, or dynamic libraries using an LLVM backend. It implements a system based on result-based error handling, scoped memory pooling, and a semantic macro system. The compiler provides first-class support for hardware-backed SIMD vectors that map directly to processor instructions and enables runtime polymorphism through interface-based dynamic dispatch. The project covers a broad set of low-level capabilities, including manual and pooled memory management, inline assembly inte
