Hi there.
If you're like me, you'd like to be able to use [[TeX]] or [[LaTeX]] formulas in your [[Wikipedia]] articles. [[Taw]] requested something like this, and I thought the idea was pretty neat, so I went ahead and hacked something up over the weekend. [[Jimbo Wales|Jimmy]] and [[LMS|Larry]] thought it was pretty neat, so here we go.
Here's the idea: Append your TeX or LaTeX source to this page. Every day, I'll run through this page and make [[PNG]]s. I'll change your entry here into an IMG tag you can then place in the appropriate article.
Please confine crazy (La)TeX-formatted stuff to math formulas and the like.
:Example: Consider the [[Y combinator]]. (OK, so this is a bad example because you could do this with straight up [[HTML]]. Forgive my lack of imagination. Alternately, forgive my morbid fascination with <b>Y</b>.) In TeX, I can write it like so:
::lambda x((lambda y.x(yy))lambda y.x(yy))
:But boy, does that look lame here.
:So I say abracadabra and we get this instead:
::http://www.wikipedia.com/images/tex/100502924801.png
:The HTML to include this looks like this:
::<img src="http colon //www.wikipedia.com/images/tex/100502924801.png" alt="lambda x ((lambda y.x(yy))lambda y.x(yy))">
:Pretty cool, don't you think?

Is your software capable of rendering the equations a bit smaller for inline equations?
:Yeah, sure. In the above image, the mag level is 200%. Whatever you'd like is OK. Default is no magnification.

Anyway, please add your requests here:
