use katex for inline rendering

is there any hope for using katex for display math as well? I'm guessing that it's commutative squares that are the problem

[ryankeleti]

yes possibly, I could make special delimiters for xymatrix so mathjax only renders those

[thosgood]

this could be good, because if katex ever does sort out xymatrix then we're on a roll

[thosgood]

it's worth mentioning that katex does now support ams-cd, which allows for commutative squares (but nothing fancier, e.g. no diagonal arrows). I don't think it's worth taking the time to go through and change all the xymatrix occurrences right now, but I can imagine that this wouldn't be to hard to regex at some point in the future.

I'm not sure, however, if there are any e.g. squares with diagonal arrows, that would stop us from wanting to move entirely over the katex — leaving this comment here just to prompt me to look into this at some point in the future
