How to Display Math Symbols in WordPress
Ron Fredericks writes: Have you ever wanted to include math equations in your blog posts or lecture materials? Here is an easy and slick way to get the job done. Use Embedded Components new WordPress plugin called WordPress Math Publisher, or wpmathpub, for short.
As an example, when I embedded the wpmathpub [pmath size=xx] tag into my blog post — like this:
Code (ada)
-
[pmath size=16](a^2+b^2)=a^2+2*a*b+b^2[/pmath]
-
-

-
[pmath size=12]~a[/pmath] is defined as a
-
[pmath size=12]~b[/pmath] is defined as b
I get the following mathematical equation displayed in my blog post:
where:
is defined as a
is defined as b
