Just opened a blog and want to LaTex it. Help?

Hi, people,

so I saw this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/who-here-blogs-not-pf-blog-and-uses-latex.571791/ using the search function, but still didn't quite get it. :(

I've just created a personal blog under the blogger.com website (or htpt:/notadvertisingit.blogspot.com) and of course I want to LaTex some formulas. I know Mathjax http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/configuration.html is an option, but how do I 'embed' it in the blog's 'inner being'? I'm more with pure maths than php codes, so please, help me.

Doesn't the blogging website admin have to enable it for use by bloggers?

Here's a discussion on how mathjax gets setup:

I tried some suggestions from the links in post#3. Didn't get it yet. :(

I finally got it. It looks like I'll have to copy-paste some standard code at the beginning of each HTML content for a post (see below). Then MathJax will render the LaTex code I typed but with \( and \) i/o $ and $ for inline. $$ for display works fine.

The current code is:

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({TeX:{equationNumbers:{autoNumber:"AMS"}}});
</script>
<script src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML" type="text/javascript">
</script>

Hello there,

Congratulations on starting your own blog! It's great to see scientists using online platforms to share their knowledge and ideas with the world. As for using LaTex on your blog, there are a few options you can explore.

Firstly, as you mentioned, Mathjax is a popular tool for displaying LaTex equations on websites. It is relatively easy to use and there are many tutorials available online to help you get started. You can follow the instructions on their website to embed Mathjax into your blog's code.

Another option is to use a LaTex plugin or extension for your blogging platform. For example, if you are using WordPress, there are several plugins available that allow you to write equations in LaTex directly in your blog posts. These plugins usually have a user-friendly interface and make it easier to integrate LaTex into your blog.

If you are not comfortable with coding, you can also try using a LaTex equation editor. These tools allow you to write equations in LaTex and then provide you with the code to embed them on your blog. This can be a good option if you are not familiar with coding or if you want to save time.

Overall, the best approach will depend on your blog's platform and your level of coding experience. I suggest exploring different options and finding the one that works best for you. Good luck with your blog and happy LaTex-ing!
