Math Rendering
Build-time LaTeX math to MathML
sukr renders LaTeX math expressions at build time to MathML. The output is browser-native — no client-side JavaScript required.
Inline Math¶
Use single dollar signs for inline math:
The quadratic formula is $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$.
Renders as: The quadratic formula is .
Display Math¶
Use double dollar signs for display (block) math:
$$
E = mc^2
$$
Or fence with math language:
```math
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
```
Supported Features¶
pulldown-latex supports a broad subset of LaTeX math:
| Feature | Syntax | Rendered |
| Greek letters | \alpha, \beta, \gamma |
|
| Fractions | \frac{a}{b} |
|
| Subscripts/superscripts | x_i^2 |
|
| Summations | \sum_{i=1}^{n} i |
|
| Integrals | \int_a^b f(x)\,dx |
|
| Square roots | \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} |
|
| Matrices | \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} |
Display Math Examples¶
The Gaussian integral:
Euler's identity:
The Schrödinger equation:
How It Works¶
- Math delimiters (
$...$,$$...$$) are detected during parsing - pulldown-latex converts the expression to MathML
- Browsers render MathML natively — no fonts or JavaScript needed
- Output is pure HTML with embedded
<math>elements
Error Handling¶
Invalid LaTeX produces an error message inline rather than breaking the build:
$\invalid{command}$
Renders with an error indicator showing what went wrong.
