Rendering Math Expressions

MathFlow supports rendering mathematical expressions as HTML and LaTeX for use in web applications, documentation, or scientific publishing.

HTML Rendering

You can render mathematical expressions as HTML with customizable styling and theme support. The rendered output includes built-in CSS for proper display of mathematical symbols and expressions.

renderAsHTML

You can render MathFlow code as HTML using the context API (recommended):

import { createContext } from "@mathflowjs/mathflow";

const ctx = createContext();
const html = ctx.renderAsHTML("sin(x) + 2^3", {
	/* options */
});
// html: '<span>sin(x) + 2<sup>3</sup></span>'

renderTokensAsHTML

For advanced usage, tokenize an expression and render manually:

import {
	createContext,
	tokenize,
	renderTokensAsHTML,
} from "@mathflowjs/mathflow";

const ctx = createContext();
const tokens = tokenize(ctx, "sin(x) + 2^3");
const html = renderTokensAsHTML(tokens, {
	/* options */
});

Options

You can customize the HTML output using HTMLRenderOptions listed below:

• classPrefix: Prefix for CSS classes (default: mf)
• colorScheme: Color scheme selection (none | auto | light | dark)
• includeDebugInfo: Include position data attributes for debugging (true or false)

Default Options:

{
  classPrefix: 'mf',
  colorScheme: 'none',
  includeDebugInfo: false
}

LaTeX Rendering

You can convert mathematical expressions to LaTeX format, suitable for use with LaTeX renderers or math typesetting systems.

renderAsLaTeX

You can render MathFlow code as LaTeX using the context API (recommended):

import { createContext } from "@mathflowjs/mathflow";

const ctx = createContext();

const latex = ctx.renderAsLaTeX("sqrt(4) + pi", { mode: "inline" });
// latex: '$\\sqrt{4} + \\pi$'

renderTokensAsLaTeX

For advanced usage, tokenize an expression and render manually:

import {
	createContext,
	tokenize,
	renderTokensAsLaTeX,
} from "@mathflowjs/mathflow";

const ctx = createContext();

const tokens = tokenize(ctx, "sqrt(4) + pi");

const latex = renderTokensAsLaTeX(tokens, {
	/* options */
});

Options

You can customize the LaTeX output using LaTeXRenderOptions listed below:

• mode: LaTeX math mode (inline | display | align)

Default Options:

{
	mode: "inline";
}

Use Cases

• Displaying results in web-based math editors
• Exporting expressions for scientific papers
