This site has information on how to set up MathJax.

What forum software are you using? The reason I ask, is if you are using vBulletin 3.8.x or 4.x, I have a product that will make adding MathJax (the system we use here at MHB) a breeze. :)

The one used by MMF. The one which uses "math" or $ tags instead of "tex".

MMF uses vBulletin 3.8.x...or they did the last time I was there (which was some time ago). Please PM the URL of your site to me, so I can take a look and see which version you are using. :)

Code cogs also has an option to embed latex in your own website. I agree that it also uses MathJax, but embedding through Code Cogs will comparatively be very easy.
 

1. What is LaTeX and why is it useful for forum installations?

LaTeX is a typesetting language used for creating mathematical and scientific documents. It allows for precise formatting and is particularly useful for displaying equations and symbols in online forums.

2. Do I need any special software or tools to install LaTeX in a forum?

Yes, you will need a LaTeX distribution, such as MiKTeX or TeX Live, as well as a forum platform that supports LaTeX, such as phpBB or vBulletin.

3. How do I install LaTeX in a forum?

The installation process may vary depending on your specific forum platform, but generally, you will need to upload the LaTeX distribution files to your server and configure the forum to recognize and use LaTeX.

4. Can I customize the LaTeX installation in my forum?

Yes, you can customize the LaTeX installation by adjusting settings and adding additional packages to your distribution. This will allow you to use a wider variety of commands and symbols in your forum posts.

5. Will installing LaTeX in my forum affect the performance or functionality of my forum?

In most cases, installing LaTeX in a forum will not affect its performance or functionality. However, if you are using a shared hosting service, it is recommended to check with your provider to ensure that they allow for LaTeX installations.
