Easy LaTeX provides a very easy way to display math and equations in your posts.

== Description ==

*Easy LaTeX* provides a very easy way to display equations or mathematical formulas  (typed in as TeX or LaTeX code) in your posts.

Most LaTeX/equation plugins I have seen suffer from a few drawbacks.

1. They require installations of TeX or other packages on your server.
1. They are fairly inflexible in terms of colors of text and background.
1. They may not let you choose how to input LaTeX code. ([math]...[/math] or $$...$$) without editing the plugin code.

My plugin aims to be flexible, and easy to install (no geeky code editing etc.).

I have is an invisible link from the equation images to my blog (and with instructions on how to remove it, if you must.)

PS: You may need to [change the file permission of the cache](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions).

2. *Easy LaTeX* in action - on my own blog.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the *Easy LaTeX* plugin (the whole easy-latex folder) to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Go to the Setup -> Easy LaTeX and set options.
4. If instructed, set the file permission of the cache directory.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How come there is not a single frequently asked question? =

Two possible reasons.

1. *Easy LaTeX* is so simple and straight-forward that no question could be thought of.
1. More likely, the plugin is too new for any questions.
