Is there any mathematical blog platform that supports LaTeX?

Question

As suggested by the topic, is there any mathematical blog platform that supports LaTeX? I think people commonly use WordPress but I am not sure whether it supports LaTeX as it doesn't show the LaTeX format.

Answer 1

For math input one can use MathJax.

Quick instructions

For me it works to add:

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
  MathJax.Hub.Config({
  extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],
   jax: ["input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS"],
   tex2jax: {
     inlineMath: [[ '$','$']],
     displayMath:  [['$$','$$']],
     processEscapes: true
   },
   "HTML-CSS": { availableFonts: ["TeX"] }
  });
</script> 

<script type="text/javascript"          
 src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.1/MathJax.js">
</script>

to the header (which can be modified at a lot of blogging websites) of the html document.

After that you can use $..$ and $$..$$ to quickly add inline and display style equations, \begin{..}...\end{..} works too.

This is how it looks and works also with different colors.

By 'supporting LaTeX', many people mean 'supporting the use of TeX-like input for mathematical symbols'. That's not the same thing: support LaTeX proper requires a TeX system, supporting just a small subset does not.

Taking WordPress as an example, both TeX-like input and proper LaTeX support are available. By far the most straight-forward way here is to use a plugin to load the appropriate code from elsewhere. MathJax is the technology that is used for example on other StackExchange sites for TeX-like input, and it's available for WordPress using the JetPack plugin. This plugin makes use of the WordPress.com MathJax support. Real LaTeX requires a TeX system installed somewhere, and for most people that is best left to a specialist server. The QuickLaTeX plugin for WordPress renders LaTeX code as .png files 'on the fly', using caching to avoid too much server load and rendering only the parts of a post that need LaTeX support. Thus this solution can deal with cross-references, TikZ and other 'goodies' that MathJax simply cannot.

There is a blog platform called Functor Network that supports latex. It is meticulously crafted for mathematical content. Here is a screenshot
