Comments about KaTeX as an Alternative to MathJax


Almost everyone thinks KaTeX is a great MathJax alternative.
- KaTeX is Free and Open Source
MathJax is described as 'Open source JavaScript display engine for mathematics that works in all modern browsers, using LaTeX math and MathML markup' and is an website in the development category. There are three alternatives to MathJax, not only websites but also apps for Self-Hosted, JavaScript and Node.JS. The best MathJax alternative is KaTeX, which is both free and Open Source. Other great sites and apps similar to MathJax are MathQuill and AsciiMath.


Almost everyone thinks KaTeX is a great MathJax alternative.
AsciiMath uses its own markup language, and isn't a full LaTeX renderer on its own.


KaTeX is snappy, although not as many features are supported as in MathJax.
