Usage

markdown-it-asciimath converts ASCII-math to TeX and then uses KaTeX to render the math. The ASCII-math - TeX conversion is done using the ASCIIMathML Scripts. The following file needs to be included:

<script src="./node_modules/markdown-it-asciimath/ASCIIMathTeXImg.js"></script>

The plugin uses KaTeX to render TeX-math so the KaTeX stylesheet needs to be included:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.7.1/katex.min.css">

To use the plugin:

var md = require('markdown-it')();
 
md.use(require("markdown-it-asciimath"));

LaTeX math code can be rendered, too. Just use the keyword latex instead of math.

Options

Options can be specified:

md.use(require("markdown-it-asciimath"), options);

Now only this option is available:

Name	Description	Default
"useKeyword"	Use the keywords `math` and `latex` to specify inline math syntax	false
