MlTex is a javascript library for creating documents with great typesetting on the web. MlTex is created purely with html, css and javascript with the intent to run completely client-side while also allowing the flexibility to run server side with no local files.
MlTex runs as a html file in your browser, mlTex then processes your content to render pages that easily be printed or saved as pdf through your browser. This also means there is no installation process, support for all operating systems offering a browser with print and no need to re-compile your document to update your references!
For people how wants to run mlTex without an internet connection, you can download the required code and setup a local server.
From here we can create an html (index.html) file and navigate to it at localhost:8000 in your browser.
For people who'll save their documents on something like CodePen (example) or are using multiple computers we can simply reference the online resources, this way we don't need a local server.
The above command for starting a local server doesn't work on Windows, here are the two easiest alternatives:
- Install the Bash on Windows and run the same command as Linux and Mac users: python -m SimpleHTTPServer and go to localhost:8000 in your browser
- Install the Backets editor and user it's one click live preview to start a server or
