ylemkimon 5f32b71c85 Use webpack to build files and webpack-dev-server for testing (#1068)
* Create a separate entry point for webpack

Created a webpack entry point for KaTeX, which imports katex.less. As
flow[1] and jest[2] doesn't support CSS modules natively, a separate
entry point is used and it is not flowtyped.

[2] https://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/webpack.html

* Use webpack to build files

* Made webpack.config.js export valid webpack configuration
* Use:
browserify -> webpack
babelify -> babel-loader
UglifyJS CLI -> UglifyJsPlugin
Less CLI -> less-loader
cleancss -> cssnano in css-loader
build/fonts -> file-loader
* Inline CSS(Less) using style-loader and export them using
ExtractTextPlugin
* Add `watch` npm script calling `webpack --watch`

* Improve local testing(webpack-dev-server)

* Made webpackDevServer export a valid webpack configuration
* Compile Less and inline CSS using less-loader and style-loader
* Instead of copying files serve files from /static and use file-loader
* Remove old server.js and its dependencies

* Use webpack-dev-server in Screenshotter

* Include contrib in webpack-dev-server

+ Moved common configurations to webpack.common.js

* Rename webpackDevServer.js to webpack.dev...

to be consistent, avoid confusion with webpack-dev-server and follow
webpack configuration naming convention.

* Remove unnecessary conditional output.path

* Use map instead of reduce

+ Add comments regarding function arguments

* Remove unnecessary mkdir and clean build/* before build

* Use katex as external dependency instead of global variable in contrib

Fixes #692.

* Unblock codes as they are built as a module

* Update package-lock.json

* Add comments regarding devServer option

* Lint renamed webpack.dev.js

a0d8b33

* Export ES6 module and expose its default export

* Revert "Browserify hotfix (#1057)"

This reverts commit f6b509123b.

* Enables colors on the console when running the dev server in Screenshotter

* Add context to webpack configuration

Allows webpack to be run from other directories

* Move `rm -rf build/*` to npm scripts

* Check dependencies before build

* Move UglifyJsPlugin into config creation

* Let webpack handle ES6 modules

Do not transform modules to commonjs in Babel. However Jest doesn't not
support ES6 modules, so transfrom modules to commonjs when NODE_ENV is
`test`.

* Add documentation on testing in IE 9 and 10 using webpack-dev-server

Changed version range to include IE-compatible version

# Auto-render extension
This is an extension to automatically render all of the math inside of text. It
searches all of the text nodes in a given element for the given delimiters, and
renders the math in place.
### Usage
This extension isn't part of KaTeX proper, so the script needs to be included
(via a `<script>` tag) in the page along with KaTeX itself. For example,
using a CDN:
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.9.0-beta/katex.min.css" integrity="sha384-L/SNYu0HM7XECWBeshTGLluQO9uVI1tvkCtunuoUbCHHoTH76cDyXty69Bb9I0qZ" crossorigin="anonymous">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.9.0-beta/katex.min.js" integrity="sha384-ad+n9lzhJjYgO67lARKETJH6WuQVDDlRfj81AJJSswMyMkXTD49wBj5EP004WOY6" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.9.0-beta/contrib/auto-render.min.js" integrity="sha384-EkJr57fExjeMKAZnlVBuoBoX0EJ4BiDPiAd/JyTzIA65ORu4hna7V6aaq4zsUvJ2" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
```
Then, call the exposed `renderMathInElement` function in a script tag
before the close body tag:
```html
<body>
...
<script>
renderMathInElement(document.body);
</script>
</body>
```
See [index.html](index.html) for an example.
(To run this example from a clone of the repository, run `npm start`
in the root KaTeX directory, and then visit
http://localhost:7936/contrib/auto-render/index.html
with your web browser.)
If you prefer to have all your setup inside the html `<head>`,
you can use the following script there
(instead of the one above at the end of the `<body>`):
```html
<head>
...
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
renderMathInElement(document.body);
});
</script>
...
</head>
```
### API
This extension exposes a single function, `window.renderMathInElement`, with
the following API:
```js
function renderMathInElement(elem, options)
```
`elem` is an HTML DOM element. The function will recursively search for text
nodes inside this element and render the math in them.
`options` is an optional object argument that can have the same keys as [the
object passed to `katex.render`](https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/#rendering-options),
in addition to two auto-render-specific keys:
- `delimiters`: This is a list of delimiters to look for math. Each delimiter
has three properties:
- `left`: A string which starts the math expression (i.e. the left delimiter).
- `right`: A string which ends the math expression (i.e. the right delimiter).
- `display`: A boolean of whether the math in the expression should be
rendered in display mode or not.
The default value is:
```js
[
{left: "$$", right: "$$", display: true},
{left: "\\[", right: "\\]", display: true},
{left: "\\(", right: "\\)", display: false}
]
```
- `ignoredTags`: This is a list of DOM node types to ignore when recursing
through. The default value is
`["script", "noscript", "style", "textarea", "pre", "code"]`.
- `errorCallback`: A callback method returning a message and an error stack
in case of an critical error during rendering. The default uses `console.error`.
Note that the `displayMode` property of the options object is ignored, and is
instead taken from the `display` key of the corresponding entry in the
`delimiters` key.
