TeX-like output (i.e., trying to be faithful to Appendix G, TeX book)
- MathJax's TeX input (direct successor of jsmath).
- KaTeX
equation convertors (with repetitions)
- output: visual
  - MathJax
  - jqmath
  - mathquill
  - fmath
  - mathematical A wrapper around Lasem and mtex2MML to generate SVG, PNG, MathML.
  - katex

"Unicode authoring"
- tex-to-unicode browser extension (the underlying lib can be used separately)
- unicodeIt
little helpers
- Instant Preview for HTML textareas (works with tinymce)
- TeX all the things, Chrome extension injecting MathJax
- mathml-block, "A MathML block for the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)" (but really a 'mathjax block' since MathML is neither used as in- or output).
drawing, plotting etc.
