npm i markdown-it-latex2img --save

2. Config

# _config.yml
markdown:
  plugins:
    - markdown-it-latex2img

Default will load mathjax plugin EVERY PAGE during rendering,Does not reduce page speed after generated.Later will support on-demand rendering to improve rendering speed

Options(optional)

If you want to customize options in hexo,please do as follows:

# _config.yml
markdown:
  plugins:
    - name: markdown-it-latex2img
      options:
        style: 'filter: opacity(90%);transform:scale(0.85);text-align:center;'

Convention

Markup is based on pandoc definition. Mathjax pointed out

The default math delimiters are $$...$$ and [...] for displayed mathematics, and (...) for in-line mathematics.Note in particular that the $...$ in-line delimiters are not used by default.That is because dollar signs appear too often in non-mathematical settings, which could cause some text to be treated as mathematics unexpectedly.

However,most still use $...$, we have followed this habit.

# inline
$\frac {a+1}{b+2}$ # The opening $ must have a non-space character immediately to its right, while the closing $ must have a non-space character immediately to its left, and must not be followed immediately by a digit. 

# block
$$
{
e^x=\lim_{n\to\infty} \left( 1+\frac{x}{n} \right)^n
\qquad (2) 
}
$$
