What shall I do, if I want to contribute, guys? :)
@spicyj hello

hello!
PeterBocan
I`d like to contribute to KaTeX and I`m not sure where to start.
spicyj
anything in particular you're looking to add or just looking to help out?
PeterBocan
math fonts, that were requested on github.
I think I can handle it. :)
spicyj
cool
the main thing we're looking for is TeX compatibility
for example, we got one fonts PR that worked correctly on some symbols but not others
or it worked on letters and numbers but not on symbols or something
and since Khan Academy (and others) are using KaTeX for what it can support and falling back to MathJax for others, it's important that if KaTeX renders something without throwing an exception then it looks right :)
(in some cases, MathJax and TeX deviate and we tend to prefer TeX's behavior)
PeterBocan
I see. And what`s the support for fonts like bold-face, italic, etc. ?
spicyj
right now we have the font files but we don't support the actual \mathbf, etc commands yet
in a lot of ways it's similar to how \color or sizing commands work though
PeterBocan
Yea, but how to pass those fonts/CSS class name?
spicyj
you'll probably need to add logic to pass it all down
I haven't thought about it enough to know exactly what needs changing
PeterBocan
Okay, I'll play with it.
spicyj
PeterBocan: xymostech actually made some progress with matrices recently so you might actually see something soon
PeterBocan
Really? Amazing!
How come? :P
spicyj
just a new idea about how to make the CSS work :)
PeterBocan
What did she use?
I'm just digging into it, and I've added some console.log into \\text function.
