{{% note %}}
This feature was introduced in Hugo 0.132.0 and is marked as experimental.
Hugo uses an embedded instance of the [KaTeX] display engine to render mathematical markup to HTML. You do not need to install the KaTeX display engine.
This does not mean that it's going to be removed, but this is our first use of WASI/Wasm in Hugo, and we need to see how it [works in the wild](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/12736) before we can set it in stone.
{{% /note %}}
## Arguments
EXPRESSION
: The math expression to render using KaTeX.
OPTIONS
: A map of zero or more options.
## Options
These are a subset of the [KaTeX options].
output
: (`string`). Determines the markup language of the output. One of `html`, `mathml`, or `htmlAndMathml`. Default is `mathml`.
{{% comment %}}Indent to prevent splitting the description list.{{% / comment %}}
With `html` and `htmlAndMathml` you must include KaTeX CSS within the `head` element of your base template. For example:
```html
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.11/dist/katex.min.css" integrity="sha384-nB0miv6/jRmo5UMMR1wu3Gz6NLsoTkbqJghGIsx//Rlm+ZU03BU6SQNC66uf4l5+" crossorigin="anonymous">
...
</head>
```
displayMode
: (`bool`) If `true` render in display mode, else render in inline mode. Default is `false`.
leqno
: (`bool`) If `true` render with the equation numbers on the left. Default is `false`.
fleqn
: (`bool`) If `true` render flush left with a 2em left margin. Default is `false`.
minRuleThickness
: (`float`) The minimum thickness of the fraction lines in `em`. Default is `0.04`.
macros
: (`map`) A map of macros to be used in the math expression. Default is `{}`.
throwOnError
: (`bool`) If `true` throw a `ParseError` when KaTeX encounters an unsupported command or invalid LaTex. See [error handling]. Default is `true`.
errorColor
: (`string`) The color of the error messages expressed as an RGB [hexadecimal color]. Default is `#cc0000`.
## Examples
### Basic
[KaTeX]: https://katex.org/
```go-html-template
{{ transform.ToMath "c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}" }}
```
### Macros
{{% note %}}
By default, Hugo renders mathematical markup to [MathML], and does not require any CSS to display the result.
[MathML]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML
To optimize rendering quality and accessibility, use the `htmlAndMathml` output option as described below. This approach requires an external stylesheet.
{{% /note %}}
```go-html-template
{{ $macros := dict
"\\addBar" "\\bar{#1}"
"\\bold" "\\mathbf{#1}"
}}
{{ $opts := dict "macros" $macros }}
{{ transform.ToMath "\\addBar{y} + \\bold{H}" $opts }}
{{ $opts := dict "output" "htmlAndMathml" }}
{{ transform.ToMath "c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}" $opts }}
```
## Options
Pass a map of options as the second argument to the `transform.ToMath` function. The options below are a subset of the KaTeX [rendering options].
[rendering options]: https://katex.org/docs/options.html
displayMode
: (`bool`) If `true` render in display mode, else render in inline mode. Default is `false`.
errorColor
: (`string`) The color of the error messages expressed as an RGB [hexadecimal color]. Default is `#cc0000`.
[hexadecimal color]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hex-color
fleqn
: (`bool`) If `true` render flush left with a 2em left margin. Default is `false`.
macros
: (`map`) A map of macros to be used in the math expression. Default is `{}`.
```go-html-template
{{ $macros := dict
"\\addBar" "\\bar{#1}"
"\\bold" "\\mathbf{#1}"
}}
{{ $opts := dict "macros" $macros }}
{{ transform.ToMath "\\addBar{y} + \\bold{H}" $opts }}
```
minRuleThickness
: (`float`) The minimum thickness of the fraction lines in `em`. Default is `0.04`.
output
: (`string`). Determines the markup language of the output, one of `html`, `mathml`, or `htmlAndMathml`. Default is `mathml`.
With `html` and `htmlAndMathml` you must include the KaTeX style sheet within the `head` element of your base template.
```html
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.21/dist/katex.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
throwOnError
: (`bool`) If `true` throw a `ParseError` when KaTeX encounters an unsupported command or invalid LaTeX. Default is `true`.
## Error handling
There are 3 ways to handle errors from KaTeX:
There are three ways to handle errors:
1. Let KaTeX throw an error and make the build fail. This is the default behavior.
1. Handle the error in your template. See the render hook example below.
1. Let KaTeX throw an error and fail the build. This is the default behavior.
1. Set the `throwOnError` option to `false` to make KaTeX render the expression as an error instead of throwing an error. See [options](#options).
1. Handle the error in your template.
{{< code file=layouts/_default/_markup/render-passthrough-inline.html copy=true >}}
{{ with transform.ToMath .Inner }}
{{ with .Err }}
{{ errorf "Failed to render KaTeX: %q. See %s" . $.Position }}
{{ else }}
{{ . }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{- /* chomp trailing newline */ -}}
The example below demonstrates error handing within a template.
## Example
Instead of client-side JavaScript rendering of mathematical markup using MathJax or KaTeX, create a passthrough render hook which calls the `transform.ToMath` function.
###### Step 1
Enable and configure the Goldmark [passthrough extension] in your site configuration. The passthrough extension preserves raw Markdown within delimited snippets of text, including the delimiters themselves.
[passthrough extension]: /getting-started/configuration-markup/#passthrough
{{< code-toggle file=hugo copy=true >}}
[markup.goldmark.extensions.passthrough]
enable = true
[markup.goldmark.extensions.passthrough.delimiters]
block = [['\[', '\]'], ['$$', '$$']]
inline = [['\(', '\)']]
{{< /code-toggle >}}
{{% note %}}
The configuration above precludes the use of the `$...$` delimiter pair for inline equations. Although you can add this delimiter pair to the configuration, you will need to double-escape the `$` symbol when used outside of math contexts to avoid unintended formatting.

###### Step 2
Create a [passthrough render hook] to capture and render the LaTeX markup.
[passthrough render hook]: /render-hooks/passthrough/
{{< code file=layouts/_default/_markup/render-passthrough.html copy=true >}}
{{- $opts := dict "output" "htmlAndMathml" "displayMode" (eq .Type "block") }}
{{- with try (transform.ToMath .Inner $opts) }}
{{- with .Err }}
{{ errorf "Unable to render mathematical markup to HTML using the transform.ToMath function. The KaTeX display engine threw the following error: %s: see %s." . $.Position }}
{{- else }}
{{- .Value }}
{{- $.Page.Store.Set "hasMath" true }}
{{- end }}
{{- end -}}
{{< /code >}}
[error handling]: #error-handling
[KaTeX options]: https://katex.org/docs/options.html
[hexadecimal color]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hex-color
###### Step 3
In your base template, conditionally include the KaTeX CSS within the head element.
{{< code file=layouts/_default/baseof.html copy=true >}}
<head>
{{ $noop := .WordCount }}
{{ if .Page.Store.Get "hasMath" }}
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.21/dist/katex.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
{{ end }}
</head>
{{< /code >}}
In the above, note the use of a [noop](g) statement to force content rendering before we check the value of `hasMath` with the `Store.Get` method.
#### Step 4
Add some mathematical markup to your content, then test.
{{< code file=content/example.md >}}
This is an inline \(a^*=x-b^*\) equation.
These are block equations:
\[a^*=x-b^*\]
$$a^*=x-b^*$$
