Only load Katex on pages with equations

    Dear Mr. Churchman,

    I personally prefer Katex to MathJax for my website, but Katex is added to every webpage even though most pages do not have any math displayed on them. This is also true for MathJax, but this problem can be eliminated by only having MathJax loaded for webpages displaying math with the following command sequence for displaying a Tek equation:

    <script type="text/javascript" id="MathJax-script" async 
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-chtml.js">; 
</script> 
<div style="font-size:22px">$$x = {-b pm sqrt{b^2-4ac} over 2a}.$$</div>

    If you notice, MathJax is loaded from the https://cdn.jsdelivr.net server for every instance on a page when it is needed. Can this also be done for Katex? If so, what is the command sequence for the Quadratic Equation shown above to accomplish this?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Respectfully,

    Scott

  • Isn’t this part of the plugin’s settings page where you can enable it? (Settings -> Katex -> Load KaTeX assets conditionally)

    I will need to install Katex again and check for this setting, which I did not find when it was installed, so I uninstalled Katex since it was increasing the size of every webpage. Can you provide me with a screenshot of this setting, and the version of Katex you are using?
