Description

Easy LaTeX provides a very easy way to display equations or mathematical formulas (typed in as TeX or LaTeX code) in your posts.

Most LaTeX/equation plugins I have seen suffer from a few drawbacks.

1. They require installations of TeX or other packages on your server.
2. They are fairly inflexible in terms of colors of text and background.
3. They may not let you choose how to input LaTeX code. ( or $$…$$) without editing the plugin code.

My plugin aims to be flexible, and easy to install (no geeky code editing etc.).

I have is an invisible link from the equation images to my blog (and with instructions on how to remove it, if you must.)

PS: You may need to change the file permission of the cache.

Installation

1. Download the zip archive of Easy LaTeX.
2. Unzip and upload the Easy LaTeX plugin (the whole easy-latexfolder) to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Go to the Setup -> Easy LaTeX and enter options.
5. If instructed, set the file permission of the cache directory.

Future Plans

• V 1.1: Option to change the font size of the formula output? (Depends on user interest).
• V 1.2: Custom bracketing tags or multiple bracketing tags? (Depends on user interest).

Support Easy LaTeX

• If you like the plugin, stick around and read my blog.
• If you like the content and style of my blog, consider buying my book.
• Easy LaTeX links the generated formula images to my blog.
  Consider leaving it unchanged.
