Check out this
[really nice approach to rendering](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/10044#issuecomment-1174878418)
fully static [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) with
[`hugo`](https://gohugo.io/) by caching remote fetches from
[a quick and simple KaTeX API](https://github.com/ianmuchina/katex-api-test/blob/72a39e1f54d6baae0caa669cfe8ddd35c94ddf2d/main.ts#L1).
Really clever --- glad to see that [someone](https://ianmuchina.com/) tried it.
[Custom output formats](https://gohugo.io/templates/output-formats/) and
[remote fetching](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/introduction/#get-resource-with-resourcesget-and-resourcesgetremote)
at compile time are two very important features.

If you're not familiar with [`deno`](https://deno.land/), try out the
{{< abbr api "application programming interface" >}} with the command
`deno run`.

```shell
$ deno run --allow-net main.ts
Listening on http://localhost:8000
