This package is a [unified][] ([rehype][]) plugin to render math.
You can add classes to HTML elements, use fenced code in markdown, or combine
with [remark-math][remark-math] for a $C$ syntax extension.
This project is useful as it renders math with MathJax at compile time, which
means that there is no client side JavaScript needed.
A different plugin, [rehype-katex][rehype-katex], does the same but with
[KaTeX][].
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 18+), install with [npm][]:
``sh`
npm install rehype-mathjax
In Deno with [esm.sh][esmsh]:
`js`
import rehypeMathjax from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-mathjax@7'
In browsers with [esm.sh][esmsh]:
`html`
Say our document input.html contains:
`html`
Lift(L) can be determined by Lift Coefficient
(C_L) like the following equation.
L = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 S C_L
…and our module example.js contains:
`js
import rehypeMathjax from 'rehype-mathjax'
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {read, write} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(rehypeMathjax)
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process(await read('input.html'))
file.basename = 'output.html'
await write(file)
`
…then running node example.js creates an output.html with:
`html`
Lift(
(
…open output.html in a browser to see the rendered math.
This package has an export map with several entries for plugins using different
strategies:
* rehype-mathjax/browser — browser (±1kb)rehype-mathjax/chtml
* — [CHTML][mathjax-chtml] (±154kb)rehype-mathjax/svg
* — [SVG][mathjax-svg] (±566kb)rehype-mathjax
* — same as SVG
Each module exports the plugin [rehypeMathjax][api-rehype-mathjax] as
the default export.
Render elements with a language-math (or math-display, math-inline)
class with [MathJax][].
###### Parameters
* options ([Options][api-options], typically optional)
— configuration
###### Returns
Transform ([Transformer][unified-transformer]).
Configuration (TypeScript type).
###### Fields
* chtml (unknown, optional)mathjax.org
— configuration for the output, when CHTML;
see [CommonHTML Output Processor Options on
][mathjax-chtml-options]svg
* (unknown, optional)mathjax.org
— configuration for the output, when SVG;
see [SVG Output Processor Options on
][mathjax-svg-options]tex
* (unknown, optional)mathjax.org
— configuration for the input TeX;
see [TeX Input Processor Options on
][mathjax-tex-options]
###### Notes
When using rehype-mathjax/browser, only options.tex.displayMath andoptions.tex.inlineMath are used.
That plugin will use the first delimiter pair in those fields to wrap
math.
Then you need to load MathJax yourself on the client and start it with the
same markers.
You can pass other options on the client.
When using rehype-mathjax/chtml, options.chtml.fontURL is required.
For example:
`js`
// …
.use(rehypeMathjaxChtml, {
chtml: {
fontURL: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/output/chtml/fonts/woff-v2'
}
})
// …
This plugin supports the syntax extension enabled by
[remark-math][remark-math].
It also supports math generated by using fenced code:
``markdown`math`
C_L``
The content of any element with a language-math, math-inline, ormath-display class is transformed.math-display
The elements are replaced by what MathJax renders.
Either a class or using
will
result in “display” math: math that is a centered block on its own line.CSS
The HTML produced by MathJax does not require any extra CSS to render correctly.
Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [
Options][api-options].Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
rehype-mathjax@7,
compatible with Node.js 18.This plugin works with unified version 6+ and rehype version 4+.
Security
Assuming you trust MathJax, using
rehype-mathjax is safe.
A vulnerability in it could open you to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][wiki-xss] attack.
Be wary of user input and use [rehype-sanitize][rehype-sanitize].When you don’t trust user content but do trust MathJax, run
rehype-mathjax
after rehype-sanitize:`js
import rehypeMathjax from 'rehype-mathjax'
import rehypeSanitize, {defaultSchema} from 'rehype-sanitize'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import remarkMath from 'remark-math'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import {unified} from 'unified'const file = await unified()
.use(remarkParse)
.use(remarkMath)
.use(remarkRehype)
.use(rehypeSanitize, {
...defaultSchema,
attributes: {
...defaultSchema.attributes,
// The
language-* regex is allowed by default.
code: [['className', /^language-./, 'math-inline', 'math-display']]
}
})
.use(rehypeMathjax)
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('$C$')console.log(String(file))
