You are on the right track, thanks for sharing the Google gadget with my readers. Your gadget indeed includes a great display for the creation of math equations. What seems to be lacking is a simple method for easy publishing of the final image. For example: Can the gadget itself be plugged into a blog post? Or does the blogger still have to cut, paste, upload into WordPress, then tagging and formatting [repeat sic] of the image is then required before finally posting the math equation within a blog?

Using a simple text editor, you can use my WordPress mathpub plug-in to create images on the fly that fit within a blog post or a blog comment without any hassle associated with img tags etc… Because the image is created on the fly to exactly fit within the blog post or comment. This is a very powerful feature for collaboration and for making quick changes when math errors or improved algorithms are found that would otherwise break the format of the original image as placed within the blog post. It was this redo for improved algorithm that finally got me to write the WordPress mathpub plug-in in the first place – all the coding and publishing of the open-source code took less time and creates error free publishing of math images.

How about adding your great editor to my plug-in and/or the php math publisher library used as the backend to my plug-in so we can take advantage of both worlds: both open-source and ready for the next upgrade (like yours).

Regards,

Ron
