Writing Math Equations in a Post

Say you are writing a post and want to include a math equation of some kind. HTML or BBcode, won’t help.

You have 2 options:

  1. create the equation using Microsoft Equation Editor (while working in a Word document) then save the equations as png or jpg and upload them to your blog.
  2. activate the WP LaTeX plugin (Dashboard–>Plugins) and insert some latex code from the online LaTeX equation editor.

    The following shortcode will produce this LaTeX image: e^{\i \pi} + 1 = 0

    latex_shortcode
    Similarly, this y=\sqrt{(x+3) a^2+b^2}
    will produce this:
    y=\sqrt{(x+3) a^2+b^2}
