Installation

To install TeXZilla, you can download a release package that contains the Javascript files to be used from a Web page, a commonJS program or the command line. You can also do npm install texzilla to install the Node Packaged Module.

Note that TeXZilla-min.js is relatively big (~500kb) so it is recommended to use HTTP compression so that it is smaller (~90kb) and thus served faster. This is enabled by default on most Web sites, including GitHub gh-pages.

If you want to use the latest development version, you can just link to http://fred-wang.github.io/TeXZilla/TeXZilla-min.js or build the program from the GitHub repository. See the build instructions.

TeXZilla syntax

TeXZilla uses a context-free grammar based on the one of itex2MML, which itself inspired from AMS LaTeX. For now, we refer to the itex2MML documentation. TODO: we should give more details here when TeXZilla 1.0 is released!
