KaTeX can be used to render mathematical notation within articles.
<!--more-->
Congo will only bundle the KaTeX assets into your project if you make use of mathematical notation. In order for this to work, congo provides a shortcode [`katex`]({{< ref "docs/shortcodes#katex" >}}) than can be used with either `katex block` or `katex inline`.
Any KaTeX syntax inside the shortcode will be automatically rendered.
Use the online reference of [supported TeX functions](https://katex.org/docs/supported.html) for the available syntax.
## Inline notation
Inline notation can be generated by wrapping the expression in the `katex inline` or `katex` shortcode.
**Example:**
```tex
% KaTeX inline notation
Inline notation: {{</* katex inline */>}}\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…{{</* /katex */>}}
Shorthand version: {{</* katex */>}}\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…{{</* /katex */>}}
```
Inline notation: {{< katex inline >}}\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…{{< /katex >}}
Shorthand version: {{< katex >}}\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…{{< /katex >}}
## Block notation
Alternatively, block notation can be generated using the `block` parameter. This will output the expression in its own HTML block.
**Example:**
```tex
% KaTeX block notation
{{</* katex block */>}}
\varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } }
{{</* /katex */>}}
```
{{< katex block >}}
\varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } }
{{< /katex >}}
