How can I enable use of math in my html web page

Question

I have a blog where people can post their comments. My problem is that I need to enable people to be able to use math formulas using latex syntax. I cannot make any changes to the server. I can only embed a script in my HTML page. Kindly help.

Answer 1

You can use jsMath to solve this problem. It is all client side javascript, but you must reference the jsMath library to use its functions.

Answer 2

You can use MathJax. Sample Blogger post: MathJax testing

Just add the following script:

<script src="http://www.mathjax.org/MathJax/MathJax.js">
  //
  //  This script call is what gets MathJax loaded and running
  //
  MathJax.Hub.Config({
    // Only needed if to do more configuration within the page
    delayStartupUntil: "onload",
    // input is TeX and output is HTML-CSS 
    jax: ["input/MathML", "input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS"],    format
    // use the tex2jax preprocessor
    extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],              
    tex2jax: {
      // uncomment to use $...$ for inline math
      inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],
      // set to 1 to allow \$ to produce a dollar sign 
      processEscapes: 1                      
    }
  });
</script>

You can also try the LaTeX 4 Web library, which converts LaTeX code into HTML.
