WP LaTeX

This plugin uses the WordPress Shortcode Syntax . Enter your LaTeX code inside of a [latex]...[/latex] shortcode.

You may alternatively use the following equivalent syntax reminiscent of LaTeX’s inline math mode syntax.

That is, if you would have written $some-code$ in a LaTeX document, just write $latex some-code$ in your WordPress post.

Can I change the color of the images produced?

You can also change the colors on an image by image basis by specifying color and background attributes inside the LaTeX shortcode. For example:

will produce an image with a bright green background and a bright red foreground color. Colors are specified in RGB with the standard 6 digit hex notation.

$latex e^{\i \pi} + 1 = 0&bg=00ff00&fg=ff0000$ Can I change the size of the image?

[latex size="4"]e^{\i \pi} + 1 = 0[/latex]

$latex e^{\i \pi} + 1 = 0&s=4$

size = LaTeX size -4 \tiny -3 \scriptsize -2 \footnotesize -1 \small 0 \normalsize (12pt) 1 \large 2 \Large 3 \LARGE 4 \huge The LaTeX images work, but they don’t really fit in with my blog’s theme

I want to break out of math mode and do some really wild stuff. How do I do that?

If you really want hardcore LaTeX formatting (or any other cool LaTeX features), you should probably just use LaTeX.

Formula does not parse : Your LaTeX is invalid; there must be a syntax error or something in your code (WP LaTeX doesn’t provide any debugging). Formula Invalid : Your LaTeX code attempts to use LaTeX commands that this plugin does not allow for security reasons. You must stay in inline math mode : Fairly self explanitory, don’t you think? See above. The forumula is too long : Break your LaTeX up into multiple images. WP LaTeX limits you to 2000 characters per image. Could not open TEX file for writing or Could not write to TEX file : You have some file permissions problems. See Intallation instructions.
