Using LaTeX with Wikidot

Wikidot pages will parse and display LaTeX code. See the math section of the Wikidot syntax guide.

Example

A famous equation is $E = mc^2$.

A famous equation is [[$E = mc^2$]].

A famous equation is [[$E = m\textrm{c}^2$]].

A famous equation is $E = m\textrm{c}^2$.

Limitations

Wikidot renders LaTeX by producing and displaying graphics files, which may not appear particularly sharp when printed. Also, I do not believe that the font used can be changed. The rather plain-looking Computer Modern (I believe) is the default.

More Information

The LaTeXniques Wiki contains a few articles perhaps of interest and a list of other sites.
