Word got out on MathJax a little early, as things tend to do on the web. We barely got a sample page up. Although it probably won't matter, our hope is you don't hammer MathJax too hard until we get things going and officially announce. Very soon now!<p>Paul Topping Design Science, Inc.

If you have a wordpress blog, wordpress.com will convert your latex to images using this plugin:<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-latex/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-latex/</a>

We've been using jsMath on our FogBugz wiki internally for a while now. I'm very glad this is going mainstream. It's a lifesaver for companies that use wikis and do math.

Yeah, so this is basically awesome. I've written a LaTeX-based markup language that I'm using for my Ruby on Rails Tutorial book (<a href="http://www.railstutorial.org/book" rel="nofollow">http://www.railstutorial.org/book</a>), but it's really designed for putting math &#38; physics books on the web as HTML while still making nice PDFs. One big challenge I've faced is making nice HTML math typesetting, which I solved using texvc (the secret of Wikipedia's math typesetting), but unfortunately texvc is no good at inline math. I was <i>not</i> looking forward to solving that problem. Along comes MathJax, and now I don't have to!<p>N.B. Being able to benefit from unexpected advances like this is <i>exactly</i> why I standardized on LaTeX, even though it's kind of a pain to convert it to HTML. If you're trying to solve the math typesetting problem and not using LaTeX, you're on the wrong (<i>cough</i>MathML<i>cough</i>) track.

Very exciting. This project looks impressive and I really hope it succeeds.<p>Also, what would be really orgasmic is if it would be possible to <i>type</i> math in Latex inside the browser and see it displayed nicely like that. But this is probably asking for too much.

This came up on the sage (FOSS alternative to Mathematica and freinds) mailing lists and I thought I'd post it here.<p>It always surprises me how difficult math on the Internet has turned out to be. Hopefully this can help...

Wow.. this is the missing piece to the puzzle for a project I'm thinking about working on soon. Is this going to be open source?

It would be neat if we could use something like this to render equations on HN...

I guess mobile Safari is not one of the 20+ browsers that are supported at present. Anyone else not seeing rendered math on their iPhone?

Neat! But... Mathjax - Math JavaScript and XML?

This is really impressive-looking. I have at least one site that would benefit from this big time.

That's cool it's grown out of jsMath; I've been pretty happy with that for a while now.

Actually, MathJax.org is our preferred URL.
