It supports inline math using `\\(...\\)`, display math using `$$...$$`, `\\[...\\]`, or LaTeX `\\begin...\\end` blocks, with optional support for single-dollar delimiters and GitLab-style syntax.\n\nThe extension is a lightweight wrapper that does not perform the actual math rendering\u2014that responsibility falls to MathJax or KaTeX loaded in the HTML page. It integrates cleanly into Python-Markdown's extension system and can be used programmatically or from the command line. The package is stable and has been maintained since 2015, with support for current Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, requires only one common dependency, and solves a specific problem cleanly. Install it if you need to render math formulas in Markdown and are willing to load MathJax or KaTeX separately in your HTML output. The aging maintenance status is not a concern for a mature, focused extension with no active bugs."},"id":"python-markdown-math","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-markdown-math","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-markdown-math.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-markdown-math/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-10","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-markdown-math","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Math extension for Python-Markdown"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":411258,"position":6858,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9"}
