Recently, I have been making some nice [webpages](https://grassmann.crucialflow.com/dev/algebra) with the Julia `Documenter` and \LaTeX.

I also have a WordPress based website, which I am thinking of replacing with a Julia generated.

What are the different options out there for generating static websites with Julia? I really like the basic approach provided by `Documenter` and also saw that `Weave` is available too.

The main issue I have is with declaring additional \LaTeX to use in the website.

Is it possible to `\usepackage{amsmath}` somehow in the raw \LaTeX mode of `Documenter`?

How can I declare additional \LaTeX commands in a preamble to display in the website?

But is there no way to declare a custom \LaTeX command in `Documenter`?

In Documenter you can pass configuration options to [KaTeX](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/lib/internals/writers/#Documenter.Writers.HTMLWriter.KaTeX) (or MathJax; [here is a real working example](https://github.com/JuliaAtoms/AtomicLevels.jl/blob/b989896f6e7f62e9213f14b5ce38dffc50bc14b1/docs/make.jl)). Documenter just converts the Julia dictionary into a JS object, so you have to see the KaTeX/MathJax docs to figure out exactly what you need to pass.
