The upgrade to KaTeX v0.18.0 introduces a breaking change related to styling.

Breaking Change:

• All internal CSS classes generated by KaTeX are now prefixed. This was done to avoid style conflicts with other libraries.

Impact:

• This change will affect users who apply custom CSS styles or have allowlists that target KaTeX's internal class names. These users must update their CSS selectors to include the new prefix for their styles to continue working correctly.

Recommendation:

• Review any custom stylesheets that target KaTeX output and update the CSS selectors as needed. No API changes are noted for standard rendering functions like katex.render or katex.renderToString.
