-Fast math!
+KaTeX is a fast, easy-to-use JavaScript library for TeX math rendering on the web.
 
-To run locally
---------------
-    make setup
-    make serve
+ * **Fast:** KaTeX renders its math synchronously and doesn't need to reflow the page. See how it compares to a competitor in [this speed test](http://jsperf.com/katex-vs-mathjax/).
+ * **Print quality:** KaTeX’s layout is based on Donald Knuth’s TeX, the gold standard for math typesetting.
+ * **Self contained:** KaTeX has no dependencies and can easily be bundled with your website resources.
+ * **Server side rendering:** KaTeX produces the same output regardless of browser or environment, so you can pre-render expressions using Node.js and send them as plain HTML.
 
-* [Test page](http://localhost:7936/)
-* [Unit tests](http://localhost:7936/test/test.html)
+KaTeX supports all major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, and IE 8 - IE 11.

+## Usage
+
+Download the built files from [the releases page](https://github.com/khan/katex/releases). Include the `katex.min.js` and `katex.min.css` files on your page:
+
+```html
+<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/to/katex.min.css">
+<script src="/path/to/katex.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
+```
+
+Call `katex.render` with a TeX expression and a DOM element to render into:
+
+```js
+katex.render("c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}", element);
+```
+
+To generate HTML on the server, you can use `katex.renderToString`:
+
+```js
+var html = katex.renderToString("c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}");
+// '<span class="katex">...</span>'
+```
+
+Make sure to include the CSS and font files, but there is no need to include the JavaScript.
