Latex on the Web…

I have been playing around with a with a CGI script that converts Latex Maths notation into GIF file on the fly… After a lot of fighting (mostly with the way WordPress cleans up my typing!) I now have it working…

At the moment it is a little clumsy to use but I reckon I should be able to tidy it all up…

Anyway at least that means I can now blog maths as well as everything else…

Here is an example of what it can do…
[tex]\Large f(x)=\Bigint_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt[/tex]

If you ever put any maths stuff on your website then check out MimeTex.
