djangocms-katex

Provides a django CMS plugin to render formulae using KaTeX and its mhchem extension.

The plugin can display formulae either inline or in display mode. It is text-enabled and you can add equations to rich text fields of djangocms-text-ckeditor.

The plugin form has a preview functionality that either shows the typed formula. Errors are shown in red.

Installation

For a manual install:

• run pip install djangocms-katex

• add the following entries to your INSTALLED_APPS:

      "djangocms_katex",
  

• run python manage.py migrate

The Code plugin uses the ace code editor which is loaded from a CDN by default. If you want the ace code editor to be served from static files, please use djangocms-katex[static-ace] instead of djangocms-katex in your requirements or with pip. Make the static files for the ace code editor available to your project by adding djangocms_static_ace to your project's INSTALLED_APPS.

djangocms-text-ckeditor's inline functionality might interfere with KaTeX's layout. To ensure a great editing experience deactivate it if you use djangocms-katex by removing TEXT_INLINE_EDITING = True from your settings.py file.
