A Tiny MCE plugin which makes writing latex equation easy and WYSIWYG（what you see is what you get）. It converts latex code into image which shows real beautiful latex equations on your post.
It adds an “fx” botton on the wordpress TinyMCE editor, on clicks it the codecogs latex equation editor pops up, where you can edit latex, then click the copy button to copy the equation image back in TinyMCE textarea.
You can also use this editor to only input latex code and let plugins like quicklatex, mathjax or Latex for WordPess to convert it to equation image, you’d better change line 90 in editor_plugin.js 
tinyMCE.activeEditor.execCommand(‘mceInsertContent’, false, ”); 
to 
tinyMCE.activeEditor.execCommand(‘mceInsertContent’, false, ‘\[‘+latex+’\]’); 
inorder to only copy LaTex code to TinyMCE textarea when click the copy button.
I just followed the tutorial written by Greg Winiarski(http://ditio.net/2010/08/15/adding-custom-buttons-to-wordpress-tinymce/) and make codecogs Tiny MCE plugin(http://www.codecogs.com/latex/integration/tinymce/install.php) into a wordpress plugin. Thanks the great guys. If you can make the plugin better to use please tell me in http://www.verymath.com/2011/05/10/codecogs-latex-equation-editor/
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above. This may be of use for extremely complicated 
plugins where more information needs to be conveyed that doesn’t fit into the categories of “description” or 
“installation.” Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.
<h3>A brief Markdown Example</h3>
Ordered list:
<ol>
<li>Some feature</li>
<li>Another feature</li>
<li>Something else about the plugin</li>
</ol>
Unordered list:
<ul>
<li>something</li>
<li>something else</li>
<li>third thing</li>
</ul>
Here’s a link to <a href="https://wordpress.org/" title="Your favorite software" rel="ugc">WordPress</a> and one to <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax" title="Markdown is what the parser uses to process much of the readme file" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown’s Syntax Documentation</a>. 
Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
<blockquote>
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.
</blockquote>
<pre><code><?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
</code></pre>

WPMathPub renders mathematical equations in WordPress using the mathpublisher rendering engine, supporting both pmath native syntax and LaTeX-style input and generating high-quality PNG images with transparent backgrounds.
Unlike MathJax-based plugins, WPMathPub performs server-side rendering, producing static equation images that display consistently across browsers and devices without requiring client-side JavaScript.
This approach provides reliable rendering for:
<ul>
<li>WordPress posts, pages, and comments</li>
<li>Cached pages</li>
<li>Environments where JavaScript rendering is not desirable</li>
<li>RSS feeds and feed aggregators <a href="https://www.biophysicslab.com/2026/04/11/wpmathpub-latex-math-in-social-networks/" rel="nofollow ugc">RSS example</a></li>
</ul>
WPMathPub extends the classic mathpublisher engine with modern WordPress integration including shortcode support, LaTeX translation, image caching, and configurable rendering options.
<h3>Mathematical Equation Rendering</h3>
Mathematical expressions can be embedded directly into WordPress content using the pmath shortcode.
Example:
<pre><code>[pmath]x^2 + y^2 = z^2[/pmath]
</code></pre>
Custom size and color:
<pre><code>[pmath size=18 color="blue"]E = mc^2[/pmath]
</code></pre>
LaTeX input with inline text:
<pre><code>This is a fraction: [pmath latex=1]\frac{a}{b}[/pmath]
</code></pre>
Expressions are rendered as PNG images using the GD and FreeType libraries and cached for efficient reuse.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>pmath shortcode tag math expression rendering</li>
<li>Inline text with math images using pmath shortcode tag</li>
<li>Control of math image size and color</li>
<li>LaTeX command translation (<a href="https://www.biophysicslab.com/wordpress-math-publisher-plugin/wpmathpub-syntax/" rel="nofollow ugc">Check out the complete syntax list</a>)</li>
<li>Server-side PNG equation generation</li>
<li>Gutenberg WPMathPub math block with PMath and LaTeX mode switching</li>
<li>Halo-free color rendering with alpha transparency</li>
<li>Transparent background support for dark themes</li>
<li>Minimal WordPress database footprint</li>
<li>Efficient PNG image caching</li>
<li>WordPress admin tools panel
<ul>
<li>Configurable default equation size</li>
<li>Configurable default equation color with color picker</li>
<li>Installation status display</li>
<li>PNG image cache status and control</li>
<li>Policy control for cleanup on plugin delete</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
