Our algorithm team use mathematic equations frequently. Instead of copy&paste the image of the equation in to a Phriction wiki, it would be great if we could use some markup tag to present it.
The problem of copy&paste image is
- I need find another web app or software help me render the equation
- No one can get the original LaTeX code from the image
- Anyone who want to modify the equation, need rewrite the full equation somewhere, and then paste the new image back
So I wish that we could write LaTeX code directly in the wiki, using some markup syntax, for example <math>P(E) = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{ n-k}</math>. Then the code could be rendered by MathJax (a JavaScript display engine for mathematics) to visualised form such as:
