Comment on Author interactive math equations and diagrams online using LATEX and PSTricks

Comments

Mathematician here. The interactive stuff is cool, but besides that the page was a bit unclear on something simpler - is this something I can use to render static LaTeX expressions to decent looking (ie. better than standard latex2html) display equations dynamically in a browser?

I can go the route of latex -> png -> embed in html, but that does get tedious.

edit: looking at the source, it does appear to be the case:

"[...]if $\hat{x}(t) = \sum \limits_{k=0}^{M-1}\alpha_k \Psi_k$, where $x$ is a $p$-periodic signal[...]"

very cool. Though maybe I'm just easy to please.

It uses MathJax to do the equation rendering, see:

The diagrams are rendered to SVG (vector graphics, supported by all modern web browsers).
