Updates include:

Adding KaTeX support: This is a LaTeX-inspired (I'm showing my age) syntax for describing both mathematical and chemical equations. They look cool even if I don't remember much mathematics from college.

Spinning off a package, @akashacms/diagrams-maker: While editing this website, it was noted that regular AkashaCMS websites needed an easier path for including diagrams and mathematics. The @akashacms/diagrams-maker package does that.

Add the markdown-it-bracketed-span extension: This extension wraps a <span> around text by [adding brackets around the text]. Bracketed text [that is wrapped by a <span> tag] is not by itself very interesting. Unless you look at the page source you will not have noticed the previous sentence has some words wrapped by a <span> tag. But, when combined with another Markdown extension, markdown-it-attrs, one can easily add id= or class= attributes to the <span>.

To demonstrate, consider this CSS declaration:

.text-color-red { color:#FF0000; }

Then, write something like [text within brackets]{.text-color-red}, or example text within brackets, and notice that the text is red.

The HTML generated for the previous paragraph is:

<p>
Then, write something like
<code>[text within brackets]{.text-color-red}</code>,
or <span class="text-color-red">example text within brackets</span>,
and notice that the text is red.
</p>

The markdown-it-bracketed-span plugin was needed because it was noted that simply adding an attribute marker, like {.text-color-red}, did not have an effect unless it were added to text that was wrapped by a tag. The <span> it introduced took care of that issue.
