LaTeX2HTML

Description

LaTeX2HTML makes you write blog like in LaTeX doc. You can just copy and paste to create a new post in WP from your tex source file, then it will looks like amsart document style. It support a lot of raw latex command including theorem like environment and BibTeX style citation.

Main Functions

  • Enable MathJax to render math formula.
  • Translate raw LaTeX (almost all the command of amsart) to HTML+CSS markup.
  • Almost every thing is customizable, but also works perfect by default. e.g., support \newcommand

License

Good news, this plugin is free for everyone! Since it’s released under the GPL2, you can use it free of charge on your personal or commercial blog.

FAQ

Any question can be feed back at there (turn to the support pannel)

A Test Example

For a test, you can do the following:

\title{Hello LaTeX2HTML}
\begin{thm}[Newdon-Leibniez]\label{thm:NL}
If $f\in C^1([a,b])$ then
\begin{equation}\label{eq:NL}
\int_a^b f'(x) d x=f(b)-f(a)
\end{equation}
In \autoref{thm:NL} the main part is \eqref{eq:NL}.
\end{thm}

Add a new post (it should be in the HTML code mode rather than the visual mode), copy the code into your new post, then preview it.

In fact, after a while you will find that it almost as if you were write your TeX doc rather than a post!

This is one of the best plugins ever for both LaTeX and WordPress users. While the LaTeX part is close to perfection, references still need some refinements to match the quality of the main part.

I tried a couple of LaTeX plugins for my version of WP (v5), none of which worked as expected (I didn't try very hard to find out why). But this one worked straight out of the box. Very intuitive and easy to use. Kudos!

我找了很多的数学公式的插件 基本上没有哪个支持这种格式的行内公式: $E=mc^2$ 唯独那个qicklatex支持,但那个只能图片显示公式,速度慢 突然发现这个插件,特别好!完美支持! 谢谢作者!

A nice plugin! [ link redacted ] And I have some suggestions for improvement: (1)The reference cannot be download; (2)I know that you have develop functions for preview latex codes, why not share it as another plugin or integrate them into this plugin; (3)Add a option: A blank line for new line.
