 * Hello
 * I made a clone of my website with UpdraftPlus.
 * On this clone I updated WordPress from 5.5 to 5.6
 * After this update, the Katex renderer gives me the error
    “KaTeX parse error:
   KaTeX doesn’t work in quirks mode.” instead of each math formula.
 * May I ask users (and of course the plugin developper) if there are issues concerning
   WordPress 5.6 and KaTeX?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * This probably is unrelated to the WordPress version. The plugin works for me 
   on versions 5.6 and 5.7.
 * Make sure you include a valid document type (`<!DOCTYPE html>`) in your theme.
   Also see [https://katex.org/docs/issues.html](https://katex.org/docs/issues.html).

 * Hi,
 * As we say in france: mieux vaut tard que jamais.
 * Three months ago, I was reluctant to update WP because of this problem.
 * Receiving no answer, I decided to take the risk. And everything was fine.
