Other KaTeX Environments

Environments	How they differ from those shown above
darray, dcases, drcases	… apply displaystyle
matrix*, pmatrix*, bmatrix* Bmatrix*, vmatrix*, Vmatrix*	… take an optional argument to set column alignment, as in \begin{matrix*}[r]
equation*, gather* align*, alignat*	… have no automatic numbering. Alternatively, you can use \nonumber or \notag to omit the numbering for a specific row of the equation.
gathered, aligned, alignedat	… do not need to be in display mode. … have no automatic numbering. … must be inside math delimiters in order to be rendered by the auto-render extension.

Acceptable line separators include: \\, \cr, \\[distance], and \cr[distance]. Distance can be written with any of the KaTeX units.

The {array} environment supports | and : vertical separators.

The {array} environment does not yet support \cline or \multicolumn.

\tag can be applied to individual rows of top-level environments (align, align*, alignat, alignat*, gather, gather*).

Math-mode Unicode (sub|super)script characters will render as if you had written regular characters in a subscript or superscript. For instance, A²⁺³ will render the same as A^{2+3}.

Line Breaks

KaTeX 0.10.0+ will insert automatic line breaks in inline math after relations or binary operators such as “=” or “+”. These can be suppressed by \nobreak or by placing math inside a pair of braces, as in {F=ma}. \allowbreak will allow automatic line breaks at locations other than relations or operators.

Hard line breaks are \\ and \newline.

In display math, KaTeX does not insert automatic line breaks. It ignores display math hard line breaks when rendering option strict: true.

Vertical Layout

$x_n$ x_n	$\stackrel{!}{=}$ \stackrel{!}{=}	$a \atop b$ a \atop b
$e^x$ e^x	$\overset{!}{=}$ \overset{!}{=}	$a\raisebox{0.25em}{$b$}c$ a\raisebox{0.25em}{$b$}c
$_u^o $ _u^o	$\underset{!}{=}$ \underset{!}{=}	$a+\left(\vcenter{\frac{\frac a b}c}\right)$ a+\left(\vcenter{\hbox{$\frac{\frac a b}c$}}\right)

\sum_{\substack{0<i<m\\0<j<n}}

$$\sum_{\substack{0<i<m\\0<j<n}}$$

\raisebox and \hbox put their argument into text mode. To raise math, nest $…$ delimiters inside the argument as shown above.

\vcenter can be written without an \hbox if the strict rendering option is false. In that case, omit the nested $…$ delimiters.

Overlap and Spacing

${=}\mathllap{/\,}$ {=}\mathllap{/\,}	$\left(x^{\smash{2}}\right)$ \left(x^{\smash{2}}\right)
$\mathrlap{\,/}{=}$ \mathrlap{\,/}{=}	$\sqrt{\smash[b]{y}}$ \sqrt{\smash[b]{y}}

$\displaystyle\sum_{\mathclap{1\le i\le j\le n}} x_{ij}$ \sum_{\mathclap{1\le i\le j\le n}} x_{ij}

KaTeX also supports \llap, \rlap, and \clap, but they will take only text, not math, as arguments.

Spacing

\thinspace	³∕₁₈ em space	\mkern{distance}	space, width = distance

\<space>	space	\negmedspace	– ⁴∕₁₈ em space

\space	space	\mathstrut	\vphantom{(}

Notes:

distance will accept any of the KaTeX units.

\kern, \mkern, \mskip, and \hspace accept unbraced distances, as in: \kern1em.

\mkern and \mskip will not work in text mode and both will write a console warning for any unit except mu.

Logic and Set Theory

$\forall$ \forall	$\complement$ \complement	$\therefore$ \therefore	$\emptyset$ \emptyset
$\exists$ \exists	$\subset$ \subset	$\because$ \because	$\empty$ \empty
$\exist$ \exist	$\supset$ \supset	$\mapsto$ \mapsto	$\varnothing$ \varnothing
$\nexists$ \nexists	$\mid$ \mid	$\to$ \to	$\implies$ \implies
$\in$ \in	$\land$ \land	$\gets$ \gets	$\impliedby$ \impliedby
$\isin$ \isin	$\lor$ \lor	$\leftrightarrow$ \leftrightarrow	$\iff$ \iff
$\notin$ \notin	$\ni$ \ni	$\notni$ \notni	$\neg$ \neg or \lnot

For conventional set-builder notation, something like $\{ x \mid x<\frac{1}{2}\}$ will produce $\{ x \mid x<\frac{1}{2}\}$.

	\newcommand\macroname[numargs]{definition}
	\renewcommand\macroname[numargs]{definition}
	\providecommand\macroname[numargs]{definition}

Macros can also be defined in the KaTeX rendering options.

Macros accept up to nine arguments: #1, #2, etc.

Macros defined by \gdef, \xdef, \global\def, \global\edef, \global\let, and \global\futurelet will persist between math expressions. (Exception: macro persistence may be disabled. There are legitimate security reasons for that.)

KaTeX has no \par, so all macros are long by default and \long will be ignored.

Available functions include:

\char \mathchoice \TextOrMath \@ifstar \@ifnextchar \@firstoftwo \@secondoftwo \relax \expandafter \noexpand

@ is a valid character for commands, as if \makeatletter were in effect.

Style, Color, Size, and Font

Class Assignment

\mathbin \mathclose \mathinner \mathop
\mathopen \mathord \mathpunct \mathrel

Color

$\color{blue} F=ma$ \color{blue} F=ma

Note that \color acts like a switch. Other color functions expect the content to be a function argument:

$\textcolor{blue}{F=ma}$ \textcolor{blue}{F=ma}
$\textcolor{#228B22}{F=ma}$ \textcolor{#228B22}{F=ma}
$\colorbox{aqua}{$F=ma$}$ \colorbox{aqua}{$F=ma$}
$\fcolorbox{red}{aqua}{$F=ma$}$ \fcolorbox{red}{aqua}{$F=ma$}

Note that, as in LaTeX, \colorbox & \fcolorbox renders its third argument as text, so you may want to switch back to math mode with $ as in the examples above.

For color definition, KaTeX color functions will accept the standard HTML predefined color names. They will also accept an RGB argument in CSS hexa­decimal style. The "#" is optional before a six-digit specification.

Font

$\mathrm{Ab0}$ \mathrm{Ab0}	$\mathbf{Ab0}$ \mathbf{Ab0}	$\mathit{Ab0}$ \mathit{Ab0}
$\mathnormal{Ab0}$ \mathnormal{Ab0}	$\textbf{Ab0}$ \textbf{Ab0}	$\textit{Ab0}$ \textit{Ab0}
$\textrm{Ab0}$ \textrm{Ab0}	$\bf Ab0$ \bf Ab0	$\it Ab0$ \it Ab0
$\rm Ab0$ \rm Ab0	$\bold{Ab0}$ \bold{Ab0}	$\textup{Ab0}$ \textup{Ab0}
$\textnormal{Ab0}$ \textnormal{Ab0}	$\boldsymbol{Ab0}$ \boldsymbol{Ab}	$\Bbb{AB}$ \Bbb{AB}
$\text{Ab0}$ \text{Ab0}	$\bm{Ab0}$ \bm{Ab0}	$\mathbb{AB}$ \mathbb{AB}
$\mathsf{Ab0}$ \mathsf{Ab0}	$\textmd{Ab0}$ \textmd{Ab0}	$\frak{Ab0}$ \frak{Ab0}
$\textsf{Ab0}$ \textsf{Ab0}	$\mathtt{Ab0}$ \mathtt{Ab0}	$\mathfrak{Ab0}$ \mathfrak{Ab0}
$\sf Ab0$ \sf Ab0	$\texttt{Ab0}$ \texttt{Ab0}	$\mathcal{AB0}$ \mathcal{AB0}
	$\tt Ab0$ \tt Ab0	$\cal AB0$ \cal AB0
		$\mathscr{AB}$ \mathscr{AB}

One can stack font family, font weight, and font shape by using the \textXX versions of the font functions. So \textsf{\textbf{H}} will produce $\textsf{\textbf{H}}$. The other versions do not stack, e.g., \mathsf{\mathbf{H}} will produce $\mathsf{\mathbf{H}}$.

In cases where KaTeX fonts do not have a bold glyph, \pmb can simulate one. For example, \pmb{\mu} renders as : $\pmb{\mu}$

Size

$\Huge AB$ \Huge AB	$\normalsize AB$ \normalsize AB
$\huge AB$ \huge AB	$\small AB$ \small AB
$\LARGE AB$ \LARGE AB	$\footnotesize AB$ \footnotesize AB
$\Large AB$ \Large AB	$\scriptsize AB$ \scriptsize AB
$\large AB$ \large AB	$\tiny AB$ \tiny AB

Style

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n$ \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n
$\textstyle\sum_{i=1}^n$ \textstyle\sum_{i=1}^n
$\scriptstyle x$ \scriptstyle x         (The size of a first sub/superscript)
$\scriptscriptstyle x$ \scriptscriptstyle x (The size of subsequent sub/superscripts)
$\lim\limits_x$ \lim\limits_x
$\lim\nolimits_x$ \lim\nolimits_x
$\verb!x^2!$ \verb!x^2!

\text{…} will accept nested $…$ fragments and render them in math mode.

Units

In KaTeX, units are proportioned as they are in TeX.
KaTeX units are different than CSS units.

KaTeX Unit	Value	KaTeX Unit	Value
em	CSS em	bp	1/72​ inch × F × G
ex	CSS ex	pc	12 KaTeX pt
mu	1/18 CSS em	dd	1238/1157​ KaTeX pt
pt	1/72.27 inch × F × G	cc	14856/1157 KaTeX pt
mm	1 mm × F × G	nd	685/642 KaTeX pt
cm	1 cm × F × G	nc	1370/107​ KaTeX pt
in	1 inch × F × G	sp	1/65536 KaTeX pt

where

• F = (font size of surrounding HTML text)/(10 pt)
• G = 1.21 by default, because KaTeX font-size is normally 1.21 × the surrounding font size. This value can be overridden by the CSS of an HTML page.

Unit	textstyle	scriptscript	huge
em or ex	$\rule{1em}{1em}$	$\scriptscriptstyle\rule{1em}{1em}$	$\huge\rule{1em}{1em}$
mu	$\rule{18mu}{18mu}$	$\scriptscriptstyle\rule{18mu}{18mu}$	$\huge\rule{18mu}{18mu}$
others	$\rule{10pt}{10pt}$	$\scriptscriptstyle\rule{10pt}{10pt}$	$\huge\rule{10pt}{10pt}$
