Trying out math

November 7, 2011 by Garrett Mitchener

Brenton LeMesurier let me know that Word Press can render LaTeX markup if you enable the right tools. Here are his instructions:

On needs a (free) wordpress.com account, though you will be prompted to create one if necessary at some point.
Login at https://blogs.charleston.edu
At left, select plug-ins
Find JetPack by WordPress.com and select “Activate”. (Settings are not needed for the latex part: Jetpack does lots of things!)
Go to the bottom of the plug-ins page and click button “Apply”.
some confirmation is asked for, involving logging in to a wordpress.com account (and if necessary, creating such)

Then you can type

[latex]x^2[/latex]

and it appears typeset: $x^2$
