			Many people have discovered the mimetex engine I'm running, and I'm currently serving up a few thousand requests a month. It's a pretty easy way to embed an equation in your blog, especially if you don't have control over your server.

			Now that I have my own VPS, it was easy to install the MathML mediawiki plugin.

New page

I've wanted to be able to use LaTeX with Mediawiki for several years now, but because I'm on a shared host this hasn't been an option. Well, I found a work around which was quite easy to install, and gives me what I want with regards to MathML expressions. Example:

<tex>f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt</tex>

I first downloaded and installed [http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html mimetex.cgi] which kindly included precompiled linux binaries. Next, I tested to see if it was working ok, by entering in this URL:

http://www.theeggeadventure.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2+y^2

It worked great on the first try. The last thing I had to do was install a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mimetex_alternative Mediawiki extension]. This extension was very easy to install and well documented.
