Rendering LaTeX in Blogger.

Rendering LaTeX in Blogger is pretty easy thanks to the JavaScript LaTeX equation render engine from http://www.yourequations.com.
To enable LaTeX rendering go to the Blogger Dashboard --> Layout --> Edit HTML . Then add the line
<script> type="text/javascript" src="http://tex.yourequations.com/"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tex.yourequations.com/"></script>
just before <body/>
. Half the job is now done.
Then, for example to render:
\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{x^{4}\left(1-x\right)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}dx =\frac{22}{7}-\pi
Use the code:
<pre lang="eq.latex">
\int_{0}^{1}\frac{x^{4}\left(1-x\right)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}dx
=\frac{22}{7}-\pi
</pre>

The LaTeX code will now be displayed as:
\int_{0}^{1}\frac{x^{4}\left(1-x\right)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}dx=\frac{22}{7}-\pi

Ofcourse Javascript needs to be enabled in the Browser for the renderer to work.

Perfect! Other solutions made conversions to MathML, which is just ugly. Thanks for the great info.

Thank you so much for your tip. However, your code has a typo (I could not post the whole code as it is not allow to have tag inside comment), therefore the equation could not come out as expected.

The code in http://www.yourequations.com/ is correct. Could you correct it for the other?

Thank you HieuDC for pointing out the typo. I apologize for the mistake, I have corrected it now.

Thanks, dude! Do you know of any other websites that do this kind of stuff, you know, in case yourequations.com shuts down?

Hi, I have another solution to write latex on Blogger. It is based on mathtex.
It can write latex symbol by just putting latex code inside two dollar signs.

I have recently developed a jQuery plugin that allows you to easily add LaTeX to your website easily, given an equation.

It’s called jsLaTeX and you can download it from here: http://knowledge-aholic.blogspot.com/2009/12/jslatex-jquery-plugin-to-directly-embed.html

The plugin also allows you to change the default engine it uses to render the equation.

Thank you for the tip. This worked for me.

It's not getting rendered (at least not in chrome 6.0.472.62 and firefox 4.0. Is the script still there at http://tex.yourequations.com?

Making inactve USB Hard Disk spin down automatically in Linux.

I have a 400GB Seagate IDE HDD connected to Mars, our hostel's file-server using an USB enclosure. The USB enclosure is a cheap "Made in China" product. Consequently it has some special "features". One such notable "feature" is that the disk is kept spinning by the controller even if there has been no disk I/O for a long time. I have three other USB disks connected to the same machine, a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive, a 500GB Maxtor Basics External Drive and a 2.5" 60GB Fujitsu SATA Disk inside a Transcend USB enclosure. All of these spin down themselves if there has been no I/O for sometime. Keeping the hard disk spinning unnecessarily for ever, not only wastes power but also overheats the drive, thereby reducing its life. I tried noflushd, which is supposed to force idle hard disks to spin down, but found it to be of no help. USB enclosure generally work by performing an SCSI emulation over USB. sdparm is an utility which can be use

Force an application to use VPN, using iptables in Linux

Enforcing an application, for example a torrent client like Transmission , to always use the VPN interface or any particular network interface for that matter, is trivially simple using iptables on Debian, Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux distro. Personally, I am running Debian Sid on the Raspberry Pi . Occasionally I use it for downloading files ( legal stuff, seriously, believe me :D  ) using Transmission Bittorrent client over a VPN connection. Sometimes it happens that the VPN connection fails and doesn't reconnect for whatever reason and Transmission continues pulling stuff directly over my internet connection, which I would like to avoid. Fortunately it is very straightforward to enforce rules based on application owner UID. Transmission runs under the owner debian-transmission in Debian (use htop to check this) and the following two lines of iptables ensures that any process with owner having UID, debian-transmission , will not use any other network interface apart from the

BSNL Self Care Portal on Chrome/Firefox in Linux

BSNL has recently (not sure how recent, since I returned to India after quite a few months) made some changes to their accounting system and the old intranet site (10.240.43.216) for checking unbilled usage no longer seems to be working. It has been replaced with an ultra crappy, barely functional, CRM portal from Siebel and it manages to suck better than the most powerful vacuum cleaner ever made. To make matters worse, it is labelled as " Internet Exploder only", so any other standards compliant browser, which doesn't cause the internet to explode doesn't seem to work. Having nothing better to do, I delved a bit deeper to find out why non-IE browsers fail to render this piece of shit. A little bit of Googling made me stumble upon this - link . Apparently the login window seems to be some kind of popup with some applet inside. Whichever brain-dead retard designed it, something seems to be horrendously wrong with the way the login window captures the mouse focus. C
