KaTeX – Fast math typesetting library for the web
I am a heavy TeX user and great fan of TeX, just Knuth&#x27;s TeX with just his Plain.tex macro package, just as in his <i>The TeXBook</i>.  Great fan.<p>No, I don&#x27;t use LaTeX -- (a) I would no longer know how to write macros, (b) there is more to learn, (c) there is much more documentation to read, and (d) IMHO the LaTeX documentation is not written nearly as well as Knuth&#x27;s <i>The TeXBook</i>.  So, net, I don&#x27;t use LaTeX.<p>Sorry, guys, there&#x27;s no law saying I should get to TeX with a graphical user interface (GUI) with &quot;what you see is what you get&quot;.<p>In fact, one of the things I like most about TeX is that I don&#x27;t have to use a GUI.  Instead, I type into TeX the same way I type as much of my writing as I can, into my favorite programmable text editor KEdit for which I have 200+ macros, many to help with typing TeX.<p>I&#x27;m happy as a clam.  KEdit&#x27;s functionality with my macros lets me get my work done with blinding speed, much faster than with any GUI which is &quot;what you see is all you&#x27;ve got&quot; and <i>direct manual manipulation with no hope of automation</i> -- bummer.<p>If I had to use TeX only via a GUI, I&#x27;d scream bloody murder loudly enough to blow off the roof of my house and the other houses in the neighborhood.<p>To each his own.  A good GUI for TeX could be a lot of work.  Sorry, guys, I just want to type into KEdit.
