gotex-wasm

Overview ¶

Command gotex-wasm compiles the engine to GOOS=js/wasm and exposes LaTeX compilation to JavaScript, so an editor like loom can render LaTeX to SVG *directly in the browser* — no server round-trip, no microVM, no TeX Live. This is the capability TeX Live can never have: client-side live preview.

It registers two globals:

gotexToSVG(source [, {size, margin}])  → { pages: [svgString, …] }  | { error }
gotexVersion()                         → a short identifier string

The built-in font is embedded, so it runs with no assets. \input and \font from disk are unavailable in the browser sandbox (no filesystem); a document's text is compiled with the built-in font unless it selects one another way.
