title: Security

Any HTML generated by KaTeX should be safe from <script> or other code injection attacks.

Of course, it is always a good idea to sanitize the HTML, though you will need a rather generous whitelist (including some of SVG and MathML) to support all of KaTeX.

Use maxSize option for preventing large width/height visual affronts, use maxExpand for preventing infinite macro loop attacks, and use allowedProtocols for preventing certain protocols in \href. Please refer to Options for more details.

The error message thrown by KaTeX may contain unescaped LaTeX source code. See Handling Errors for more details.
