Tex

[tskuzzy]

Is there any way to use Tex on my website?
I'd prefer the very nice Tex they use on Wikipedia as opposed to the older versions which don't look as nice.

Can I have a URL to show me what you are talking about?

I think you need some engine to compile tex codes. and i fear, its not supported in x10 right now (correct me if i am wrong)

Hmm, I know exactly what you are talking about.
Getting that on x10's free plan might be difficult.
I suggest getting a VPS so you can edit everything. That would be easiest however I have seen a way to make images using an external source. (e.g. http://blah.com/createteximage.php?code=$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ )

Doesn't PHP have image creating/editing capabilities? Hence CAPTCHAs and the like. But I suppose it would be clunky to port Tex to something like PHP.

I'm assuming that by VPS you mean Virtual Private Server?
Do you have to pay for that or something?

Yes, you have to pay for a VPS but with one, you could install this easily.
As I said, there is probably something that will create an image for you as I showed in the above example so you would put that code in image tags.

Ok, thanks for your help, you have inspired me to Google your suggestion. And whatd'ya know:
