Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to integrate LaTeX into a personal blog hosted on Blogger.com, specifically using MathJax for rendering mathematical formulas. Participants share experiences and seek assistance with the technical aspects of embedding the necessary code.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to use LaTeX in their blog and seeks guidance on embedding MathJax.
  • Another participant suggests that the blogging platform's admin may need to enable MathJax for it to function properly.
  • A third participant provides a link to a resource that discusses how to set up MathJax.
  • A later reply indicates that the original poster found a solution involving the addition of specific code snippets to the HTML content of their posts, detailing how to format inline and display equations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for specific code to enable MathJax, but there is uncertainty regarding whether the platform admin needs to enable it, and the effectiveness of the provided solutions varies among participants.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention challenges with implementation and the need for specific configurations, indicating that there may be additional dependencies or settings required for successful integration.

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.

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>
