See the equation above? Here is how it came into being.
Browing through Ganesh Swami’s blog (after having discovered that he was quite slyly blogging in secret), I discovered something that I have always thought would be useful — a LaTeX plugin for Wordpress.
Now, I have known about mimeTeX, which is basically a CGI tool to embed LaTeX in webpages. However, I had never really thought of using it because it was too cumbersome. I would have had to use an IMG tag to render it using CGI, and that is not particularly pleasant.
However, LatexRender is a Wordpress plugin that lets you do just this. It uses mimeTeX to render the equations, which you can use in your posts.
So, if you can see the equations below, WAAWAAWEEWAH!

Unfortunately, the ones below were messed up by Wordpress, so I had to render them directly using the CGI.





(Yes, all that was a test to see if everything actually worked.)
