AsciiMath plugin for KaTeX

After recently posting about problems with the MathJax plugin after upgrading to TiddlyWiki 5.3.0, I was asked “why don’t you use KaTeX”?

The answer had been “it doesn’t support AsciiMath”, but after visiting the KaTeX website I found an AsciiMath converter someone had written. A little work proved I could use it to switch from MathJax to KaTeX.

I have now repackaged that converter into a TiddlyWiki plugin. It can be found on my TiddlyWiki at:

I also took the opportunity to package up my Google Charts macro I had written this time last year into a plugin.

And port a basic email obfuscator macro I’d written for TW2 into a TW5 plugin.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Andrew

That’s very cool. Thanks.

It’s definetly more readable than KaTeX, much less \\

Thank you Andrew for these useful plugin.

AsciiMath plugin seems to work well, however in the try it box any formula containing the | character is not shown properly.

@Eskha Thanks for pointing that out - fixed!
