QuickLaTeX

When I have installed your plugin I get an error:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /plugins/wp-quicklatex/wp-quicklatex.php on line 76

Any idea?

Wow, it works well with your plugin. Thank you very much.

Hello! Yours is a great service! but, just a pair of questions:
Is there a way to get displaymath LaTeX output?
If there isn’t, do you plan on implementing this on future releases of your rendering engine?

Anyway, congratulations and thank you for your work! =)

Hello from turkey. I tried other 3 wp latex plugin too. But yours best. (May be transparency or something else but yours best). I need to say that if you add more services to your plugin, this may perfect. And this is last one: If all servers down we may not add latex equations so can you add an option to convert pics with our server like wp-latex plugin?

Hi!
Thanks for the great work!
I’ve got some problem with the “-” sign though. When I use something like “\sqrt{1 – 2}” in a formula, the renderer will drop the “-” and just show the squareroot of 12. When I write “\sqrt{1-2}” it works as it should. This is kind of annoying, because my formula editor always exports the tex-code with the whitespaces. And it works fine with ” + “, …
Would it be much work to fix this?

Hi Pavel,

I found your plugin to be the best latex plugin for wordpress amond al out there.. I am using it in a preliminary technical blog I am keeping for my own bookkeeping purposes. Just wanted to say thanks !

Hi, thank for the plugin,

I have a free hosting which does not allow for cURL, fsock, get_contents… So, I am personally not aware of any other methods to get a contents of an external file. So, what do you think, is it possible to provide another way to put formula images from your website on pages?

For example, http://www.quicklatex.com/image/latex.f?formula=… or http://www.quicklatex.com/latex.f?image&formula=… or something like that.

If there is an error in the formula, well, you can just place an error sign without explanation, it is not really a problem (not the one I would care about). The only real problem I see is that the image is supposed to be shifted depending on the base line. I don’t think there is any way to provide this information with image only, but one way to solve this would be to make a constant shift for all images (something like a maximum shift for all symbols). Maybe there is another better way?

Hi, excellent tool. Especially cacheing and line aligment!

I’m in progress of building Google Wave Gadget for writing mathematical formulas live in documents cooperativelly edited by multiple persons in the same time.

I have working prototype of tex part here:
http://smp.if.uj.edu.pl/~baryluk/tex-wave/texwave.html

I was wondering about any possible UI enhancments, so it will be easier to use.

I have many performance improvments in my mind, especially to not generate excessive load on quicklatex server. I already implemented few of them.

What is interesting the if I put additionall in formula= GET parameter, my formulas renders as display-math mode (not just inline mode)

Hi!
I use quicklatex but there is something that bored me. In the page
http://www.ahmath.com/?page_id=99
the size of the font of quicklatex is bigger than the normal text. How can i get rid of this problem.

Along the lines of changing font sizes, but more subtle: QuickLaTeX output is about 10% too big for the font on my page. I can make it look OK if I set body{font-size:110%;}, but my font is already too large; I’d like to drop it to about 90%. This would require QuickLaTeX to be scaled to about 80%.

I would like to suggest a percentage scale parameter (_not_ font size) to be made available, as an global parameter in the setup, and as a parameter in the individual [latex] block, with 100 being your current size, so the graphic would be created at that scale factor. (I think these two settings should be cumulative, so the overall document could be scaled using the global parameter, and then special uses (footnotes, for example) could be locally scaled with the individual parameter.)

Of course, there’s a possibility of placing an ImageMagick filter which would scale all images as they are placed in ql-cache, but that’s much trickier to do at our end than at quicklatex.com. I think this should be fairly straightforward to implement.

QuickLaTeX aligns with HTML text better than any other (including TeX4ht). If the size were precisely adjustable it would be absolutely the best.

quicklatex.com is sort of down. It seems to respond to cached expressions (a few simple ones that must have occurred earlier) but nothing else. \Sigma works; {\Sigma} does not. Nor does a+z. It has been down about 24 hours.

Another reason why the script should be released for local installation for critical uses.

Is the server down again? New formula have not been parsed since Monday…
Am I the only one with this problem?

I’m not entirely sure why, but WP QuickLaTeX makes my RSS feed timeout if I install it. Is this a known issue?

Nice plugin, but on black background looks awful.

Thank you very much for your nice plugin.
I have changed my WP to version 3.0.
Since then the plugin has not worked.
When I defiine a new command, the tex image seems not to be created.
Please help me.

hi
would you show a few examples, see what I got:

the result in no 1.
http://www.pdhsource.com/quiz-1115/
see how the (3/2) starts fine then drops, it should be all in the power line.
any advice
same thing in no 12 in the page link above
tx

sorry, the [math\ tag is used above

I have a problem, In my posts formulla show correct but in comments formulla not showed. My English is bad. Sorry.

I’ve followed your instructions but still does not display in the formula comment. Is this thesis I use the theme. Hope your help. Thank you.

I would ask how to display the code of the formula in the article. Thanks.

I had your way:
“Example equations. If you want to show source code of some equation instead of rendering it please use example=true parameter. Plugin will show source code only. All previous examples are generated using this parameter.
This feature is very useful if you write post about QuickLaTeX and want to teach others how to use it.”
in comment then ok, but in posts then not. help me. thanks.

Sorry, I figured out why the posts did not show the source code. because I’ve installed both the wp-latex plugin and your quicklatex. when I remove the wp-latex, the result was very good. Thank you for providing a great plugin

Help me! My documents created with the Latex syntax formulla $ ... $. When I put on the website must be correct syntax $ ... $ should take more time. I ask, how can we can use the syntax $ ... $ QuickLatex not? Thank you. My website: http://mathblog.org

I’ve just stumbled across this plugin, and have put it into my blog (http://www.texdev.net/2011/02/10/quicklatex-a-latex-plugin-for-wordpress/) to spread the word. One quick question. How do you get [latex], etc., rendered with the plugin active (for example, for the plugin homepage itself!)?

First of all thank you so much for this plugin – I’ve only just started playing around with it but noticed what I think is a bug. When validating HTML I noticed that none of the character references put into the images alt tag are closed with semi-colons…. thus creating hundreds of errors in the HTML.

Thank you again for your hard work.

Your plugin is great!

I tried to use the “figure” and “table” environment, which do not work (I guess it’s normal since these are float). Do you intend to provide such environments eventually? What would be the best way to emulate it with your plugin?

Thank you!

Alexandre

seems you have installed syntaxhighlighter
take a test , the preview of this comment php syntax was rendered by quick latex

<div class="entry-image"><?php
	$soContent = $post->post_content;
	$soImages = '~<img [^\>]*\ />~';
	preg_match_all( $soImages, $soContent, $thePics );
	$allPics = count($thePics[0]);
	if( $allPics > 0 ){
	echo $thePics[0][0];
	}
	else {
	echo ' ';//<img src="/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/default.gif" border="0" />
	}
	?>
</div>

Hi Pavel,

I’ve got a question:
is it possible to tell QuickLaTeX to run twice? Otherwise tikzpictures with the “remember picture,overlay” option won’t be rendered correctly.

Regards

Здравствуй, Павел.

спасибо за отличный продукт, очень удобно пользоваться

однако у меня вопрос: можно ли сделать что нибудь, чтобы при наведении курсора на формулу появлялась не надпись rendered by Quicklatex, а, как в WP-Latex, сам ТеХ код формулы.

у меня просто блог для новичков в математике и, боюсь, что без конкретных примеров и возможности прочитать запись формулы, им будем сложновато.

заранее спасибо за овет.

Question: why don’t you just mirror the package directory on your QL server with CTAN so that your package database is always complete and up-to-date?

A nice additional feature would be to use Latex to generate PDF versions of posts. IF you use a markdown/wiki plugin for both WordPress and Latex, you can feed the same code to both and generate a nice PDF!

hello

I do not understand why the characters are small for some equation :

[latex] p_i = v_i \frac { \Delta q_i } { \Delta \tau_i }[/latex]

I cannot seem to get

\begin{enumerate}

to work on my page.

Usually when I write (using TeXshop) I use my own .sty file below; however, begin{solution}…etc., don’t want to work on my WP page even after I set my preamble under the advanced options.

Any suggestions?

Hello, this plugin is excellent. Thanks for the development.

I’m wondering if it is possible to include Japanese Characters like ” 面積の和/(正方形の数-1) .” When I try this, an empty or partial formulas are displayed. I guess it is not supported yet. I hope it is included in the future updates.

(Excuse me for my English.)

Compliment for the plugin very well done

Unfortunately I have a problem. I installed locally wordpress with your plugin for testing purpose and it is working perfectly.
When I tried to move it to my university web server the plugin stopped working. What are the requirements for it? Is it supposed to work with PHP4.3.9?

well I have wordpress 3.1.4

I want to report a bug. After updating to WP QuickLaTeX 3.7.8 the whole tex setup on my site died. The reason as stated from WP plugin system is “The plugin has an invalid header”. Since this seems to be a crucial bug I would like to know if any other user is facing similar issues.

Interestingly enough, I have a wp-quicklatex installation on a different url (to which I plan to eventually move the site) and the update apparently worked fine there. It might be an error on my server side.

Hi,
1) I want to use quicklatex within the google documents forms checkboxes and embed the form into wordpress.. Is it possible? If yes, how?, or
2) I want to use quicklatex with WP-Polls Plugin. Again, Is it possible? If yes, how?

Thanks for all..

Goodmorning,
I’m using wordpress 3.2.1 (installed on host space named “altervista”). Today I’ve installed the plugin “quicklatex” from the wordpress plugin, but it don’t work…
for example if i write:

[latexpage]
At first, we sample $ f(x) $ in the ...

in the web’s page there’s:

At first, we sample
*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula:
f(x)

*** Error message:
Unknown error
in the ...

I’ve installed the plugin without problem, and setted chmod 777 in directory “ql-cache”. I’ve forgot something?
ps: (excuse me for my disgustin english!)

Hello Pavel,

Thank you for your wonderful plug-in.

Just one suggestion I did have… would it be possible to also enable Latex via $latex … $ ???

The reason I ask is that I do most of my LaTeX equation editing in a program called MathType which lets me drag and drop equations from websites into MathType for editing, and then once edited, I can drag and drop them straight into my WordPress post. The only issue with this is that the MathType format is not changeable and always copies equations in the format $latex [equation goes here] $

As a result with QuickLaTeX I need to keep deleting the latex part everytime I add or change an equation. However if it were possible for QuickLaTeX to also recognise these tags as LaTeX it would make life so much easier especially when we have blog posts with lots and lots of equations that need to be added/edited.

Thanks for your time.

Hello, great app!!!!
I have php function that runs in a page that includes the [latexpage] and a part of the function is as follows:

function wpapl_showAcademicDetail( $userID ) {
!$user = wpapl_get_academic_user_info( $userID );
!$siteurl = get_option('siteurl');

$html .= '';

Is there a way to have the $user->academic_email rendered in QL?

Thank you.

How can we write any piecewise funtion with quiclatex in wordpress?

I am going to use the plugin. Its feature set is better than my home-made plugin (especially, baseline alignment; how did you made it?).

I have a few questions:
1) Where should I place text “Powered by QuickLatex”?
2) Can I modify plugin source code?

One possibility, BTW, is to find a way to package up and sell your code to those who would self-host. I run my site off a cloud server and I have LaTeX installed there already. So it’s quite possible I could run this internally. This way, not only are you paid, but my continued use is not a drain on your resources.

Hi,

I really appreciate your plugin. That’s a great job !
Unfortunately, something goes wrong with my wordpress installation. When I read an article, I can see all the images produced by QuickLatex. But on category view (http://www.bourdonj.fr/wordpress/category/eco2-lycee-militaire/devoirs-libres/) I can’t see anything…

Can you tell me what’s wrong ?

Thanks a lot.

PS: My English is not very good, I’m sorry !

Hi again,

How can I use Quicklatex with bbpress ?

Thanks

Hi Pavel. I’m trying to use an align environment where only one equation is numbered. But Quicklatex is moving the number to the center of the equations rather than aligning it with the numbered equation. e.g., I try to do this:

(4)  

As you can see, the result is the equations are aligned but the number (4) is between the two lines rather than attached to the last one.

Is this a bug or is there a way to do what I want?

Hi Pavel. I’m having trouble fitting some long displayed equations. I have it set to center displayed equations, but there seems to be a left margin imposed regardless of the length. See http://otexts.com/fpp/8/8/ for some examples where equations are not fitting, although they are shorter than the width of the text.

How is that left margin being imposed and can I change it?

Thanks.
Rob

Hi Pavel,

I use theme Twenty Eleven, I desire to activate plugins to use weather-cloudy and QuickLaTeX in my Blog. I don’t know how to do it.
Please helpme.
Jes

Could you please post here an example of LaTex code(in Quick LaTex) for the short exact sequence with the function’s name lie over the arrows?

nice plugin, I have donated, thanks,

Equations on their own line are working well.
Inline equations are being pushed to the left margin, and are not in the correct place inline in the text. I have tried both dollar delimiters and latex delimeters.
“critical” value    
is displayed as
  “critical” value
on my site
thanks

Hi,

1.- I install quicklatex in the theme shuffusion, however, not good luck formulas. why.
2.- It is necessary new theme or typography for good luck formulas

Best regards
