Technical Background
KaTeX is an open-source LaTeX renderer by Khan Academy. It is extremely fast (no latency), making it ideal for real-time preview scenarios. LaTeX is a typesetting system widely used for mathematical and scientific documents. KaTeX supports most common LaTeX math commands, though for advanced features (such as \\begin{align}), you may need to use MathJax.
