[plugin] [ORPHAN] dow_formula

Current version: 0.1
link on textpattern.org, here
link to my page with examples and further info, here

Hi All!
This is my first contribution to textpattern. Its not,much, but I found it quite handy.

dow_formula is a way of making your mathematical expressions (as well as diagrams, pictures etc) get parsed by mimetex (a cgi-script)
and output as an image on your webpage. Reason for doing this is because the expressions contain a lot of special characters.

Visit my webpage for further info and examples.
I hope someone find this usefull ;)

Best regards,
Alexander Lundh

Nice. I’ve not played with mimetex before but I can see this being very useful.

Thanks.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] dow_formula

Hello,
Thanks for the the plugin :-)
I have one problem:
<txp:dow_formula>a \cdot b</txp:dow_formula>
gives as output:
[a \cdotb?]
instead of a nice looking LaTeXed a \cdot b.
On the other hand:
http://www.3virgule14.net/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?a \cdot b
behaves the way it should.
What is happening?
Thank you, best regards,
Paqui

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] dow_formula

Hello,
I found a solution:
<txp:dow_formula>a {\cdot} b</txp:dow_formula>
works.
Does that mean that all LaTeX commands have to be written between braces?
Best regards, Paqui
