KaTeX VS CrowdAnki

I want to resolve this KaTeX issue, so in order to test my ideas, is there some LaTeX test file with just a lot of equations, preferably inline (since this issue is related to inline math) but without fancy libraries or stuff not included in KaTeX?

> Could you elaborate on why you switched away from it?

I started using KaTeX sometime after 2015 because it promised to be fast (the fastest! [1]). I had to change the representation of a bunch of expressions because KaTeX didn't support some environments, whilst MathJax did. It was a trade-off I was willing to accept at the time.

Many years later, I started writing a personal static-site generator. I wanted comparatively lightweight pages, so rendering server-side was an option. I re-evaluated MathJax vs KaTeX again and this time I leaned towards MathJax, as speed was no longer an issue for me. It looks like KaTeX has broader support now [2].

Another alternative: Create a WebView by using UIViewRepresentable and Webkit together with MathJax or Katex where Katex is the better option. Here is a link to katex: https://katex.org/

This isn't a LaTeX question. It's a web dev question. Probably best directed at folks who make (or use) KaTeX.

If you want to make it from scratch, go with https://www.slatejs.org/examples/richtext, then use something like https://katex.org/ for rendering the LaTeX, and maybe Mathjs.org for plotting.

The speed of KaTeX is great, but the lack of support for diagrams (a la tikz-cd) is what makes KaTeX unsuitable for general adoption by mathematicians (e.g., mathoverflow.net and all online mathematical wiki I know use MathJax). KaTeX has some rudimentary support for diagrams though the {CD} environment, but something more fully fledged akin to tizk-cd or xymatrix is needed. There's been some discussion on their github (https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/219), but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Haven't personally used it, but have heard of KaTeX

There's no easy way as of yet. The deck Ultimate Geography is made using CrowdAnki

You should take a look at this AddOn: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

The collaboration is based on Github and the plugin CrowdAnki (Which I think is amazing).

There's a serious need for tools to collaboratively build community flash cards. See /r/medicalschoolanki. However the tools they have aren't great - right now they have to collect eratta in a literal google spreadsheet. There's no native way to sync changes from a master deck to any "follower" decks. I believe that Anking is also working on this problem by building a very fancy website and plugin, ETA sometime this year I think. However even with this solution, you are required to use that deck's notes and note types. You can customize it after downloading the update, but any subsequent updates will overwrite your customizations. There are custom fields that are intended to be customized by users, but now you're stuck on that note type. Also, every deck change has to go through some central committee, and I'm trying to build something more decentralized. I'm gonna assume that Anking doesn't really want to maintain a language learning deck. With my thing, anyone can publish any deck/card, and anyone can subscribe to it, receive notifications upon updates, and be able to merge changes without overwriting their customizations. (Or, if they do, it's easily undo-able. Yay event sourcing.) There are other ways to collaboratively build decks like CrowdAnki, but it means that people have to learn git. That's kinda a nonstarter. Also with Anki, you have to share decks, not cards.

However it isn't as powerful as what you're asking for. If you're looking for source control, this exists: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

That's a pretty good idea. It's basically taking https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki and giving it a better UI.

The templates included are more than just the ones that are shown. To use them, you simply have to get the deck, which you can either download from AnkiWeb, this is easier but might also be outdated, or you can use the CrowdAnki add-on and import straight from the GitHub repo of this project.

How do you make these and have you considered using something like crowdanki to host these on github? Based on your other comments it seems like you're relying on translators, which makes me think having some sort of verison control would be good. Similarly, it would let people make extended versions just by forking. You could also show the languages you're developing.
