Latex in Blogger: Another Alternative

Last year, I shared about writing latex in Blogger using Watchmath. Sadly, the server has been offline for a very long time.  I have also shared  about a Free Online Latex generator at Codecogs.com, a good alternative.

Online Latex Generator

Codecogs.com has a WYSIWYG environment. You just have to choose the math symbol and it will automatically generate the Latex code. To embed the code in Blogger, just copy the HTML code to your post (be sure that you paste in the HTML  window).

Aside from embedding code in HTML, Codecogs.com also provides embed code s for XML, phpBB, Tiddlywiki, and WordPress.

Using Latex in Gmail

To all math enthusiasts who are using Gmail, you can now use latex code to render mathematical expressions/equations in your email. All you have to do is to install the GmailTeX plugin.

Note: The inequality sign in the figure should be \geq instead of \leq.

GmailTex is available as extension in Google Chrome (the browser I’m using).   It also works in the following browsers: Mozilla Firefox (version 3.6 and later),  Opera, Safari (version 5), and Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 9).

If you are doing a lot of Latex coding (writing math equations on the web), you may want to check out CodeCogs.com , an excellent WYSIWYG online Latex editor and generator. In CodeCogs, you can write mathematical symbols by simply clicking on symbol buttons, and the Latex code is automatically generated. Codecogs supports colored Latex, multiple fonts and font sizes as well as transparent and colored backgrounds.
