Live demo

MathEscaped LaTeX/math presentation (enhancement optional).

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use

from hedron import Math

component = Math(r'e^{i\pi}+1=0', display=True)

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works

Phase 0.15 surface. Prefer native HTML semantics and ordinary HTTP actions.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters

Math(latex: 'str', *, display: 'bool' = False, class_: 'str | None' = None, mark: 'str | None' = None, **kwargs: 'object') -> 'None'
Parameter Type Meaning
latex str LaTeX source rendered safely as MathML/text fallback.
display bool Whether math uses display (block) mode. Default: False.
class_ str | None Optional CSS class string (class in HTML). Default: None.
mark str | None Optional stable test mark (data-hedron-mark). Default: None.

Composition and backend behavior

Keep Math at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

This component is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility

Keyboard and screen-reader operable; no-JS fallback required where interactive.

Security

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes

  • Do not treat client-only hints (geolocation, browser storage) as authorization.
  • Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
