MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine that renders LaTeX, MathML, and AsciiMath notation as high-quality typeset mathematics in all modern browsers, with SVG, CommonHTML, and other output formats. It includes built-in accessibility features such as screen-reader support, speech generation, expression exploration, and Braille output, and also runs server-side in Node.js.
Use cases
- render latex equations in a web page
- display mathml in all browsers
- make math content accessible to screen readers
- convert tex or asciimath to svg in node
- add math typesetting to a documentation site
- render equations in an epub or lms
- typeset math in dynamically loaded content
When to choose
- you need to display LaTeX, MathML, or AsciiMath in web pages without plugins or reader setup
- accessibility (screen readers, speech, Braille) is a requirement for your math content
- you need server-side math rendering or conversion in Node.js
- you want broad browser support and a flexible API for integration
When to avoid
- you only need lightweight math rendering and prefer a smaller alternative like KaTeX
- you must support legacy browsers such as Internet Explorer
- you need print-quality PDF typesetting rather than web display
