WpMathPublish is a plugin that offers wordpress authors the funtion to convert mathematical equations into graphics being displayed in pages and blogentries. To do so, it uses the PhpMathPublisher-Libary, which has been modifies to work with wordpress.

Using it is just as simple as that: Mathematical equations that are meant to be shown as such have to be put in [math]-tags using your favorite wordpress-editor ([math]equation[/math]). The plugin automatically converts the equations into graphics, which will be saved in your wordpress installtion in order to be generated only once. A small overview over its functions is integrated in the admin menu as well

Attention: Previous versions of this plugin used [m]-tags instead of the [math]-tags. These still are supported, but i thought it was much nicer to have [math]-tags

Currently it supports the following features: * Basic function: Convert equations into graphics * Font and background color can be chosen by you in the admin panel (alpha-transparency included, but if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer you will need version 7 or greater to display the images correctly) * Font size defaults to 12px, but can be choosen individually for each image * If you just want to output a formula there is a "noparse" attribute that will output the pure text nicely formatted * Saves the images on the webspace, which saves processor time * Clear image cache and let all images be regenerated by admin panel

Configuration:

To configure the plugin there is an easy to use admin panel page (since v0.3.1). Here you can choose the RGB-components of the font and background color. In addition to that you can choose an alpha-transparency. To have a look at the result there is a small and (I'm afraid) quite bad preview. If you want to change the size of the font used in the image output, use the "size" attribute in yout posts: [math size="16"]x^2[/math]

Commands:

There are probably quite a lot people who do not know the PhpMathPublisher commands, so here you go.

Translation:

So far there is no translation to this plugin, though it supports this. As a feature to be added in future i plan to translate it into german. Other languages would be welcome, so contact me if you need the po-file. A german description and some installetion notes can be found on the plugins homepage
