Highlight.js. Blogging Mathematics. I just wanted to see if I could get some simple mathematics into this blog.
Not so much for my own needs, but because my brother (who is a far better mathematician than I am, but rather less adventurous when it comes to using computers) has been wanting to do so for a while, but hasn't been able to find a suitable system. If you want to write about mathematics you need some way to describe the formulae, as the “mathematical keyboard” does not yet appear to have been invented. The most commonly-used mathematical typesetting system is probably Donald Knuth's TEX, which provides a very versatile language for describing mathematical expressions in relatively plain text. I started my search on the assumption that there has to be some way of integrating TEX with the popular Blogger platform that I and many others use. Mathjax.
