Hi Ron and thanks for your comment and link.

I’m not sure what you mean by the “BTW”, since it is rendering fine here in the comments preview.

Thanks for a great plugin!

Thanks for discussing the wpmathpub plugin. As Lori mentions, it is listed on the phpmathpublisher site too. I appreciate reading about the difficulties experienced by real users. To that end I have added a new FAQ as part of the the recent wpmathpub release (version 1.0.7 on Sept. 6, 2008).

The first FAQ on at this link now demonstrates how to create your math text in a demo and test window before placing it into a comment – to be sure the math expression really renders the way you would like:

Where can I try wpmathpub text image conversion?

BTW: The trouble with live preview of comments is that the live preview plugin seems to “consume” the [ pmath ] tag as you enter it before the [ /pmath ] end tag has been entered – so the preview fails – a side affect of the high speed regular expression built into the wpmathpub comment filter I suppose. Perhaps the new FAQ entry will help users avoid this problem all together.

Best regards,

Ron

Thanks Miss Loi.

Seems like the plugin you have is similar to the 2 mentioned at the bottom of this phpMathPublisher page.

If it works, stick to it…

Note: The code that Miss Loi used to get the desired matrix was

[pmath size=14]delim{[}{matrix{3}{3}{5 3 {cos 2} 6 7 0 1 {-2} {sin 5}}}{]} [/pmath]

OK – but it’s somewhat fiddly to have to put curly brackets everywhere. A delimiter would make more sense.

Can leh …

Any difference between this and the PHP Math Publisher Wordpress plugin that I’ve been using? Is this supposed to be an upgrade?

Here’s the integral that was giving trouble.

It worked fine in the comment preview.

Yay!

Code:

[pmath size=14]int{0}{pi /2}{(x^2 } + sin x)dx = 2.29[/pmath]
