Learn Math The Easiest

This is the updated procedure of how to install latex on your Blogger.

What’s New?

• The script located in a more stable location (in google server) rather than using watchmath.com server (which sometimes down for some unknown reason).
• New script, adapting the preference of either using \textstyle of \displaystyle as the default mode.
• More flexibility. Customization on default size, color, adding latex packages and defining new commands.

How To Install

Use the instruction here, but in step one copy and use instead the following script.

<script src="http://latexonblogger.googlegroups.com/web/mathtex3.js?hl=en&amp;gda=R9ZVlD4AAABbAsbN4i7hi2ZFNZpVWCi9LFztQtuc529xoR6FBh351sAOXLBpscdVgFPClVlUxUzjsKXVs-X7bdXZc5buSfmx" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">window.mathPreamble =
 '\\newcommand{\\RR}{\\mathbb{R}}\\usepackage[usenames]{color}\\color{} \\gammacorrection{1.3}\\png \\normal ';replaceMath( document.body );</script>

Usage

• Use $\LaTeX$ in order to get an inline math in \textstyle mode. For example if you type $\sum_{i=1}^nx_i$ (in blogger) you get .
• Use $$\LaTeX $$ to gen an inline math in \displaystyle  mode. For example if you type $$\sum_{i=1}^nx_i$$  (in blogger) you get .
• Use \[\LaTeX\] to get a math symbol written in a new line and aligned center. For example if you type \[\sum_{i=1}^nx_i\]  (in blogger) you get .

Customization

Modify

window.mathPreamble =
 '\\newcommand{\\RR}{\\mathbb{R}}\\usepackage[usenames]{color}\\color{} \\gammacorrection{1}\\png \\normal ';

in the script above. All extra command will be written inside the quotation marks.

• Color: To change the default color, replace \\color{} by \\color{colorname} where colorname is one of the entries in the following table
• Size: by default the latex output is in normal size. To change the default size, change \\normal by one of the following: \\tiny, \\scriptsize,\\large,\\Large,\\huge.
• Latex Package: by default the package \\usepackage[usenames]{color} is included. You can add more package by adding  \\usepackage{packagename}. To test whether a particular package is supported, type \usepackage{packagename} (use only one backslash this time) in an inline command. For example, fancybox package is supported by mathtex because if you type $\usepackage{fancybox}\shadowbox{This is fancy}$ you will get . Here is a list of package that I know work with mathtex: xypic, calrsfs, calligra, fancybox,epic,eepic(?). Let me know if you find another package that works with mathtex.
• Newcommand: we have included an example how to define a new command in the script above. We use \\newcommand{\\RR}{\\mathbb{R}} to define a command \RR. Typing $\RR$ (in blogger) will give you the same result as typing $\mathbb{R}$, i.e., you get .
• Darkness: \\gammacorrection{1.3} controls the darkness of the output. Do  experiments to get the best result by changing 1.3 into any number you like.
