KaTeX UPDATE

• Feature 1
  It seems that katex has a new update and supports some new features (e.g., align, align*). Do you have a plan to update this lib?

Hi @xinyu-yang

I was thinking about it. I looked in the code and I don't like that we need to update manually the libs and also update this file.

So, I read about Include Dependencies In package.json / node_modules. I'm thinking of including all libs in package.json. But we will not have the CDN option since at the output we will have a bundle file. Still investigating...

Hi @victor-pogor . Thank you for your patient answer.

Actually, I have tried the environment aligned with

\begin{aligned}
   a&=b+c \\
   d+e&=f
\end{aligned}

, which environment is supported by KaTeX v0.11.1 according to https://katex.org/docs/0.11.1/supported.html. But I can not get the right rendering, while other one-line formula surrounded by $$ can get the right rendering.

Fortunately, I see this halogenica/beautifulhugo#183, the solution is to replace \\ with \cr, which is

\begin{aligned}
   a&=b+c \cr
   d+e&=f
\end{aligned}

In this method, I will have to replace all the \\ with \cr in my posts (though not much). I'm not sure if \cr is the right usage, but I think this usage is not compatible with mathjax and latex.

So I just wonder if there is a method to make \\ work? Thank You!
