LaTeX support on this blog


Following on from the one percent a day article I'm knocking off a long standing annoyance I had with this blog by integrating LaTeX support 1. If this makes me just 1% more productive then as you'll see from the article it's only 70 such tasks required for a doubling of my blogging productivity.

This feature allows some nice typesetting of formulas like this:

$$ \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x) dx = 0 $$

I did this by making use of the Pelican plugin ecosystem, specifically pelican-plugins.

I think the ability to be able to typeset just the equation content using LaTeX while using something else for the rest of the content is one of the best combinations for getting things done fast. So it's definitely been good to cross this feature of the TODO list.


  1. This means we can support the cliche of turning \LaTeX into \(\LaTeX\) ↩
