fix(math): load KaTeX lazily and show TeX source when it can't typeset - #514
The Vue, React, Svelte and Angular Math components imported katex statically, so apps shipped it even on pages with no math. Vue, React and Angular also showed ... for any formula KaTeX rejected, which includes every formula still streaming in.
Core now exports loadKatex(), which imports KaTeX once, and typesetMath(). The components show the TeX source until KaTeX loads, or when it can't parse the formula. The plugin's post hook loads KaTeX while parsing a document with math, so server renders still typeset.
Vue's Math is an async component, so SSR and hydration wait for KaTeX. React suspends in its own <Suspense> and memoizes the output across streamed chunks. Svelte and Angular render the source, then render again once KaTeX loads.
Tested with tsc, svelte-check, and the vitest suites of comark, vue, react, svelte and angular. Angular has no math test because the package has no DOM test setup. The bundle-size snapshot is updated.
Not included: the HTML renderer, which runs on the server and already falls back to the source, a typeset cache, and stricter KaTeX defaults such as trust: false. Those can be separate PRs.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Math pages load KaTeX when needed, while pages without math avoid loading it.
Formulas that KaTeX cannot render display their original TeX source instead of a placeholder.
If KaTeX fails to load, math rendering can retry later.
Documentation
Clarified when KaTeX loads and what users see when a formula cannot be rendered.

Walkthrough
The math plugin now loads KaTeX when parsed content contains math and provides shared loading and typesetting helpers. Angular, React, Svelte, and Vue components use these helpers. When formatted HTML is unavailable, components display the original TeX source.
Changes: Math loading and rendering
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Shared loading and typesetting API packages/comark/src/plugins/math.ts, packages/comark/test/plugins/math.test.ts, docs/content/4.plugins/1.built-in/math.md, test/bundle.test.ts
The math plugin adds cached KaTeX loading and typesetting APIs. Its post hook loads KaTeX when tokens contain math. Tests check loading and rendering results. Documentation describes first-use loading and TeX source fallback. Bundle size snapshots are updated.
Angular and Svelte rendering packages/comark-angular/src/components/math.component.ts, packages/comark-svelte/src/components/Math.svelte, packages/comark-svelte/test/math/*
The components use shared typesetting and display the original TeX when no HTML is available. They load KaTeX when typesetting returns undefined. Svelte tests wait for rendered output and check the invalid-TeX fallback.
React and Vue rendering packages/comark-react/src/components/Math.tsx, packages/comark-react/test/*math*, packages/comark-react/package.json, packages/comark-vue/src/components/Math.ts, packages/comark-vue/test/plugin-math.test.ts, pnpm-workspace.yaml
React uses Suspense while loading KaTeX and retries after a failed load. Vue uses an async component and shared typesetting. Tests cover streaming output, failed loading, and invalid-TeX fallback.

Each call invokes katex.renderToString, including calls for the same formula after component rerenders. The stated shared API calls for a bounded, 500-entry cache. Add that cache so repeated formulas do not require repeated typesetting. Include rendering options in the cache key if the helper accepts them.

Schedule a retry render after a failed KaTeX load.
The five-second check runs only when Typeset renders. Typeset is memoized, so an unchanged mounted formula does not render again after the failed promise resolves. The failed-load test calls render() again after advancing the clock and therefore does not cover this mounted path. Add a client-side timer that updates local state after RETRY_DELAY, so the formula retries and replaces its TeX source when KaTeX becomes available.
