mathpix-markdown is a superset of Markdown that adds helpful syntax for the STEM community, such as advanced equation, table, and chemistry support. Wherever possible, we borrow syntax from LaTeX. In other cases (such as chemistry) we invent new syntax that is backward compatible with Markdown.
Here are the key benefits over plain Markdown:
- better equation support via LaTeX syntax (powered by MathJax), including equation numbering and referencing conventions from LaTeX
- better support for tables, via the LaTeX tabular syntax, which allows for complex, nested tables often seen in scientific publications
- advanced figure referencing via LaTeX syntax
- support for abstracts, author lists, and linkable sections; these are a fact of life for academic publications
- support for chemistry diagrams represented with SMILES markup, compatible with popular chemistry tools like Chemdraw

Mathpix Markdown is an open format with multiple implementations:
- you can use this Github repo and the
mathpix-markdown-it
npm library to render STEM content on your website - you can use the VS Code plugin (see picture above) to edit mmd files
- use can use our web editor Snip Notes to edit, export, and publish mmd files (with exports to pdf and docx formats)
- you can use our experimental static site generator Spectra to edit local mmd files and see changes in real time
Mathpix Markdown addresses these limitations by adding support for the following standard Latex syntax elements which are already familiar to the scientific community:
- inline math via
\( <latex math> \)
- block math via
\[ <latex math> \]
or$$ <math> $$
- tables via
\begin{tabular} ... \end{tabular}
- figures and figure captions via
\begin{figure} \caption{...} ... \end{figure}
- lists: unordered lists via
\begin{itemize} ... \end{itemize}
and ordered lists via\begin{enumerate} ... \end{enumerate}
- numbered and unnumbered equation enviornments
\begin{elem} ... \end{elem}
and\begin{elem*} ... \end{elem*}
where elem=equation|align|split|gather
- equation, table, and figure references via
\label
,\ref
,\eqref
,\tag
- text formatting options
\title{...}
,\author{...}
,\begin{abstract}...\end{abstract}
,\section{Section Title}
,\subsection{Section Title}
,\subsubsection{Section Title}
,\textit{italicized text}
,\textbf{bold text}
,\url{link}
- chemistry equation via
<smiles>OC(=O)c1cc(Cl)cs1</smiles>
or
```smiles
OC(=O)c1cc(Cl)cs1
```
- images (Markdown). Parse and render additional parameters such as width, height, alignment:
![foo](foo.png){ width=50% }
![foo](foo.png){ width="36px" }
![image](<src> "title"){width="20px",height="20px"}
![image](<src> "title"){width="20px",height="20px",right}
![image](<src> "title"){width="20px",height="20px", align="left"}

mathpix-markdown-it is an open source implementation of the mathpix-markdown spec written in Typescript.
It relies on the following open source libraries:
- MathJax v3 (to render math with SVGs)
- markdown-it (for standard Markdown parsing)
npm usage:
$ npm install mathpix-markdown-it
yarn usage:
$ yarn add mathpix-markdown-it
We provide React components which make rendering of mathpix-markdown-it easy for React applications: Full example
import {MathpixMarkdown, MathpixLoader} from 'mathpix-markdown-it';
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<MathpixLoader>
<MathpixMarkdown text="\\(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\)"/>
<MathpixMarkdown text="$x = \frac { - b \pm \sqrt { b ^ { 2 } - 4 a c } } { 2 a }$"/>
...
</MathpixLoader>
);
}
}
import * as React from 'react';
import { MathpixMarkdownModel as MM } from 'mathpix-markdown-it';
class App extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
const elStyle = document.getElementById('Mathpix-styles');
if (!elStyle) {
const style = document.createElement("style");
style.setAttribute("id", "Mathpix-styles");
style.innerHTML = MM.getMathpixFontsStyle() + MM.getMathpixStyle(true);
document.head.appendChild(style);
}
}
render() {
const html = MM.render('$x = \\frac { - b \\pm \\sqrt { b ^ { 2 } - 4 a c } } { 2 a }$');
return (
<div className="App">
<div className="content" dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: html}}></div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default App;
class ConvertForm extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
value: '\\[\n' +
'y = \\frac { \\sum _ { i } w _ { i } y _ { i } } { \\sum _ { i } w _ { i } } , i = 1,2 \\ldots k\n' +
'\\]',
result: ''
};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
handleChange(event) {
this.setState({value: event.target.value});
}
handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
this.setState({result: MM.markdownToHTML(this.state.value)})
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<h1>Input Text with Latex:</h1>
<textarea value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleChange} />
<input type="submit" value="Convert" />
</form>
<div id='preview-content' dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: this.state.result}}/>
</div>
);
}
}
Rendering methods have the ability to convert Latex
representation to such formats as: mathml
, asciimath
, tsv
const options = {
outMath: { //You can set which formats should be included into html result
include_mathml: true,
include_asciimath: true,
include_latex: true,
include_svg: true, // sets in default
include_tsv: true,
include_table_html: true, // sets in default
}
};
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML(`$x^x$`, options);
markdownToHTML()
returns an HTML string that will contain the formats specified in the options.
For Latex
formulas, the result will be:
<span class="math-inline">
<mathml style="display: none">...</mathml>
<asciimath style="display: none">...</asciimath>
<latex style="display: none">...</latex>
<mjx-comtainer class="MathJax" jax="SVG">..</mjx-comtainer>
</span>
For tabular
, the result will be:
<div class="table_ tabular">
<table id="tabular">...</table>
<tsv style="display: none">...</tsv>
</div>
Then calling the parseMarkdownByHTML(html)
method will return all formats as a list from the incoming html string.
For Latex
formulas:
[
{
"type": "mathml",
"value": "<math>...</math>"
},
{
"type": "asciimath",
"value": "x^(x)"
},
{
"type": "latex",
"value": "x^x"
},
{
"type": "svg",
"value": "<sgv>...</svg>"
}
]
For tabular
:
[
{
"type": "html",
"value": "<table>...</table>"
},
{
"type": "tsv",
"value": "<tsv>...</tsv>"
}
]
For Latex
formulas:
const options = {
outMath: {
include_mathml: false,
include_asciimath: true,
include_latex: false,
}
};
const latex = `$x^x$`;
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML(latex, options);
const parsed = MathpixMarkdownModel.parseMarkdownByHTML(html, false);
html
:
<div>
<span class="math-inline">
<asciimath style="display: none;">x^(x)</asciimath>
<mjx-comtainer class="MathJax" jax="SVG"><svg>...</svg></mjx-comtainer>
</span>
</div>
parsed
:
[
{
"type": "asciimath",
"value": "x^(x)"
},
{
"type": "svg",
"value": "<sgv>...</svg>"
}
]
For tabular
:
const options = {
outMath: {
include_table_html: false,
include_tsv: true,
}
};
const latex = `\\begin{tabular}{ l c r }
1 & 2 & 3 \\\\
4 & 5 & 6 \\\\
7 & 8 & 9 \\\\
\\end{tabular}`;
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML(latex, options);
const parsed = MathpixMarkdownModel.parseMarkdownByHTML(html, false);
<div class="table_tabular " style="text-align: center">
<tsv style="display: none">1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9</tsv>
</div>
parsed
:
[
{
type: 'tsv',
value: '1\t2\t3\n4\t5\t6\n7\t8\t9'
}
]
By default, the include_sub_math option is enabled, and as a result will contain formats for the nested table and math.
const options = {
outMath: {
include_asciimath: true,
include_mathml: true,
include_latex: true,
include_svg: true,
include_tsv: true,
include_table_html: true
}
};
const latex = `\\begin{tabular}{ l c r }
1 & {$x^1$} & 3 \\\\
4 & {$y^1$} & 6 \\\\
7 & {$z^1$} & 9 \\\\
\\end{tabular}`;
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML(latex, options);
const parsed = MathpixMarkdownModel.parseMarkdownByHTML(html);
parsed
:
[
{
type: 'html',
value: '<table>..</table>'
},
{ type: 'tsv', value: '1\tx^(1)\t3\n4\ty^(1)\t6\n7\tz^(1)\t9' },
{ type: 'mathml', value: '<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">\n <msup>\n <mi>x</mi>\n <mn>1</mn>\n </msup>\n</math>' },
{ type: 'asciimath', value: 'x^(1)' },
{ type: 'latex', value: 'x^1' },
{ type: 'svg', value: '<svg >..</svg>' },
{ type: 'mathml', value: '<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">\n <msup>\n <mi>y</mi>\n <mn>1</mn>\n </msup>\n</math>' },
{ type: 'asciimath', value: 'y^(1)' },
{ type: 'latex', value: 'y^1' },
{ type: 'svg', value: '<svg ></svg>' },
{ type: 'mathml', value: '<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">\n <msup>\n <mi>z</mi>\n <mn>1</mn>\n </msup>\n</math>' },
{ type: 'asciimath', value: 'z^(1)' },
{ type: 'latex', value: 'z^1' },
{ type: 'svg', value: '<svg ></svg>' }
]
If you set the include_sub_math option in the false, then as a result, will not contain formats for all the nested table and math.
const options = {
outMath: {
include_asciimath: true,
include_mathml: true,
include_latex: true,
include_svg: true,
include_tsv: true,
include_table_html: true
}
};
const latex = `\\begin{tabular}{ l c r }
1 & {$x^1$} & 3 \\\\
4 & {$y^1$} & 6 \\\\
7 & {$z^1$} & 9 \\\\
\\end{tabular}`;
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML(latex, options);
const parsed = MathpixMarkdownModel.parseMarkdownByHTML(html, false);
parsed
:
[
{
type: 'html',
value: '<table>..</table>'
},
{
type: 'tsv',
value: '1\tx^(1)\t3\n4\ty^(1)\t6\n7\tz^(1)\t9'
}
]
const {MathpixMarkdownModel} = require('mathpix-markdown-it');
const htmlMM = MathpixMarkdownModel.render(text, options);
const mathpixStyles = MathpixMarkdownModel.getMathpixStyleOnly();
Before using mathpix-markdown-it in node applications, you should define global variables
const Window = require('window');
const window = new Window();
global.window = window;
global.document = window.document;
const jsdom = require("jsdom");
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
global.DOMParser = new JSDOM().window.DOMParser;
It prints html to the console for string \\(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\)
- Install packages:
$ npm install mathpix-markdown-it jsdom window
- Node app.js:
const {MathpixMarkdownModel} = require('mathpix-markdown-it');
const Window = require('window');
const window = new Window();
global.window = window;
global.document = window.document;
const jsdom = require("jsdom");
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
global.DOMParser = new JSDOM().window.DOMParser;
const text = `\\(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\)`;
const options = {
htmlTags: true,
width: 800
};
const htmlMM = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML(text, options);
console.log(htmlMM);
- Start:
node app.js

If you are loading mathpix-markdown-it
from a CDN into a web page, there is no
need to install anything. Simply use a script
tag that loads
mathpix-markdown-it
from the CDN. E.g.,
<script>
let script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathpix-markdown-it@1.0.40/es5/bundle.js";
document.head.append(script);
script.onload = function() {
const isLoaded = window.loadMathJax();
if (isLoaded) {
console.log('Styles loaded!')
}
}
</script>
By default, math is not accessibility. In order for math to become accessibility, need to load the library speech-rule-engine for semantic interpretation.
import { MathpixMarkdownModel } from "mathpix-markdown-it";
import { loadSre } from "mathpix-markdown-it/lib/sre/sre-browser";
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML("$x^y$", {
accessibility: {
sre: loadSre()
},
});
const { MathpixMarkdownModel } = require('mathpix-markdown-it');
const { loadSreAsync } = require('mathpix-markdown-it/lib/sre/sre-node');
(async() => {
const html = MathpixMarkdownModel.markdownToHTML("$x^y$", {
accessibility: {
sre: await loadSreAsync()
},
});
})
If the accessibility option is specified, then assistive-mml
into mjx-container
will be added for math

The math will then be read by screen readers as x Superscript y
The context menu for selecting math export options is only available for browser libraries
In the rendering options, specify the export formats that should be displayed in the menu:
const html = MM.markdownToHTML("$x^y$", {
outMath: {
include_error: true,
// Show in context menu:
include_asciimath: true,
include_latex: true,
include_mathml: true,
include_mathml_word: true,
}
});
Then we can use:
import {
addListenerContextMenuEvents,
removeListenerContextMenuEvents,
} from "mathpix-markdown-it/lib/contex-menu";
addListenerContextMenuEvents
- listens for events to invoke and create the context menu
removeListenerContextMenuEvents
- stop listening to these events

sre
Has different loaders for node and browser.
- For Browser libraries, synchronous loading is used.
import { loadSre } from "mathpix-markdown-it/lib/sre/sre-browser";
const sre = loadSre();
- For Node modules, asynchronous loading is used.
const { loadSreAsync } = require('mathpix-markdown-it/lib/sre/sre-node');
(async() => {
const sre = await loadSreAsync();
})
Then just pass the resulting value to accessibility.spe
accessibility: {

}
addAriaToMathHTML(sre, html)
function will add accessibility attributes.
Can only be used for Browser libraries
