Latest

htex is now open source! 🎉

Transform LaTeX documents into beautiful, paginated HTML with automatic A4 page breaks based on actual content height.

✨ Key Features

  • ✅ SDK-level pagination (works in React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla JS)
  • ✅ Pixel-perfect typography matching LaTeX output
  • ✅ KaTeX for gorgeous math rendering
  • ✅ Dark/light themes with responsive zoom
  • ✅ Automatic TikZ to SVG conversion
  • ✅ Production-ready, fully tested (456 tests passing)

📦 Packages

  • @htex/core - Main SDK (renderToHtml, htexPaginate)
  • @htex/react - React component wrapper
  • @htex/svelte - Svelte component wrapper
  • @htex/vue - Vue component wrapper
  • @htex/vanilla - Web component

🚀 Quick Start

npm install @htex/core

React example:

import { renderToHtml, htexPaginate } from '@htex/core'
import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react'

export function Document() {
  const ref = useRef(null)
  const html = renderToHtml(latexSource, { renderMode: 'paged' })
  
  useEffect(() => {
    if (ref.current) htexPaginate(ref.current)
  }, [html])
  
  return <div ref={ref} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
}
