Hugo Module 
for Math and Chemistry

This Hugo module allows rendering mathematical and chemical formulas in Markdown.

The popular Javascript library $\KaTeX$ is included for self-hosting.

Inline LaTeX

can get wrapped with the two Hugo shortcodes {{< math >}} and {{< chem >}}. They prevent distortions by the Markdown rendering. Already working LaTeX expressions surrounded by a $ or doubly escaped parenthesis are still fine, of course: $E = mc^2$.

LaTeX blocks

can be placed inside fenced code blocks with the identifiers math or chem. They also provide protection against distortions and have another advantage: We can use newlines in formulas as usual. Again, already working LaTeX expressions surrounded by two dollars or doubly escaped squared brackets are still fine.
$$\begin{equation}E = mc^2\end{equation}$$

The module is available on GitHub and includes a minimal Hugo example site for local rendering.
