Those of you who use WordPress will probably know that there are countless plugins to achieve just that. That in and of itself is a problem, however. Which plugins do you choose?

For mathematics, you can visit:

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack_modules

and activate Beautiful Math in JetPack from there. You’ll need JetPack, of course, but I recommend you install it regardless of this feature, as it houses many useful features.

At that point, you’ll be able to embed mathematical formulas by specifying code between [ latex ]xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ[ /latex ] tags (without the surrounding spaces of course).

For code syntax highlighting, I like to use the plugin Crayon Syntax Highlighter.

You can see what its output looks like in the post I mentioned above.

I realize not everyone uses WordPress, but I thought I’d share a quick and handy tip here today for those who do.
