Guides for Publishing Math on the Web

How to show math equations on a website

1. Write your equation in LaTeX (or type it using the visual editor in the converter).
2. Choose KaTeX (fast) or MathJax (maximum compatibility).
3. Copy the snippet from MathsToHTML and paste it into your HTML.
4. Use Display mode for standalone equations and Inline mode inside sentences.

KaTeX vs MathJax: which should you pick▾

• KaTeX is extremely fast and ideal for most textbooks, blogs, and docs.
• MathJax supports more LaTeX commands and extensions (great for advanced notation).
• If you want speed: choose KaTeX. If you want maximum coverage: choose MathJax.

WordPress (easy method)

1. Install a KaTeX/MathJax plugin, or use a theme that supports it.
2. Paste MathsToHTML output into a Custom HTML block.
3. Keep your post lightweight by loading the renderer script only once per page.

Interactive graphs in HTML

• For graphs: embed Desmos or GeoGebra (iframe) or use JSXGraph (JavaScript).
• Use MathsToHTML for equation labels and explanations next to the graph.
• Combine inline math with charts for a “textbook + demo” experience.

Handwritten equations → HTML

1. Convert handwriting to LaTeX using an OCR app (example: Mathpix).
2. Paste LaTeX into MathsToHTML.
3. Copy the generated HTML/MathML and publish.

Accessibility tip (MathML)

For better accessibility, prefer MathML output when possible. Screen readers can interpret structure better than image-based equations.
