Equations #233

Closed litchfld closed 10 years ago

litchfld commented 10 years ago

If I want to put maths in the issue tracker (or wiki too? I haven't tried that). I have been using this site: http://www.sciweavers.org/free-online-latex-equation-editor

You can write the equation in LaTeX there then link it as an image. (Unfortunately GitHub deliberately avoids letting you use MathJax directly.) Take the bare URL ("Twittter/Google Docs") which will look something like:

http://www.sciweavers.org/tex2img.php?eq=%5Csin%5Ctheta%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BO%7D%7BH%7D&bc=White&fc=Black&im=png&fs=12&ff=arev&edit=0

Wrap it in parenteses, (), and preceed it with a ![tagname] (the tagname is arbitrary, but the exclamation point is needed to make it inline):

![def sin](http://www.sciweavers.org/tex2img.php?eq=%5Csin%5Ctheta%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BO%7D%7BH%7D&bc=White&fc=Black&im=png&fs=12&ff=arev&edit=0)

And after a moments thinking it 'should' - fingers crossed - replace the alt text with the image.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working so well today. Anyone have any better methods?
