mataroa VS MathJax

I love Mataroa: https://mataroa.blog

I jumped from WordPress to Mataroa and I'm also using Jekyll, Hugo, Zola, and Obsidian to blog.

There are a lot of great things about Mataroa that I love. I've blogged about Mataroa: https://pivic.blog/blog/mataroa/

Same for me, too.

I honestly love https://mataroa.blog it ended my paralysis for searching a blog platform, and every page is bog standard HTML. It accepts Markdown, plus it has its own anonymous analytics, so it's nice.

git clone https://github.com/mataroa-blog/mataroa.git

https://blog.bayindirh.io

It's a semi-regular, assorted blog about my adventures and experiences in life. Generally semi-focused on minimalism, computers and life in general.

It's powered by https://mataroa.blog/, which is very minimal and a joy to use.

I'm using Mataroa[0] as my blogging platform and it comes with its own analytics. It's very simple, and gives me the following:

- Read counts per post, for the last 30 days.

- How many RSS pulls, for the last 30 days.

- How many site visits, for the last 30 days.

Nothing more, nothing less. I'm pretty happy with them, and have no intention to change it.

Already in use.

Until this is fixed, anyone would be much better off going for Bear Blog [2] or Mataroa [3].

https://smol.pub and https://mataroa.blog are also nice examples. I host my blog in Mataroa, and love the experience so far.

Developer tools point to MathJax https://www.mathjax.org/. If you disable javascript you can see some LaTex.

It is something we could add, but it is not planned in the near future. We also have requests for adding math notation (like https://www.mathjax.org/), and that could be a more general solution.

I don't know what Obsidian is, but if it's requiring old TeX math mode toggles (the double dollar sign), then it might not actually be using LaTeX underneath. Many tools that provide LaTeX-style syntax for equations are actually using something like MathJaX, BlahTex, or some custom system by which to translate LaTeX-like syntax into their own equation rendering. This often means you only get a pre-defined subset of what's possible with LaTeX (and the results are never quite faithful to how LaTeX would typeset them).

This will depend heavily on where you're asking the question, e.g. stackexchange has built in mathjax to render it. I'm going to assume you're intending to ask here (because that would make sense), in which case check out the bottom of the sidebar.

From the screenshot, Obsidian looks like a typical Markdown editor that supports some LaTeX math syntax, probably rendered with something like Mathjax. On the other hand, Xournalapp seems to actually use LaTeX, even allowing you to use LaTeX packages like graphicx, tikz, etc.
