Hi everyone!
I know that I'm really new here, but it'd be awesome to have LaTeX available in the posting page, specially for those math expressions.
That's my suggestion/wish.
Cheers!
Charlie
Charlie, that's something I've been meaning to implement for a long time. There are some decent (Javascript?) packages that could do the trick and would be quite light-weight. At any rate, this is definitely something I want and have been wanting to add.

No worries 
It'd be perfect!
Cheers!
Actually, you could do me a giant favor by finding possible solutions that are lightweight and either PHP or Javascript.
I'm not an expert, but I could install MathJax on my blog, so everytime I write, for instance, \( \LaTeX \), mathjax renders properly. I'll look for some LaTeX solutions.
Cheers!!

That's not true.

The easiest option would be to use an off-site public service like
mimeTeX. As an experiment I set it up on
MaxCoderz; to do so I used the administration control panel to add a BBCode (Posting, BBCode) to map
Code: [latex]{TEXT}[/latex]
to
Code: <img src="http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.cgi?\reverse {TEXT}" alt="{TEXT}" style="border:none;vertical-align:middle;" />
As Cemetech is black on (near) white rather than white on (near) black you'd likely want to remove the \reverse from the parameter.
Not bad. I'm always very loath to rely on external websites for this sort of thing, since Cemetech has existed for a long time and I intend it to exist for a further long time, but that certainly seems like a very easy and reasonable solution. I'll start with that, in fact, and see how it goes.
You can download and deploy the software to your server if you'd rather run it locally, I just wanted to point out a quick fix for the time being.
This would indeed be pretty great.
Nikky: do you have an alternative that would be better?

He'd probably prefer that we do some kind of Microsoft proprietary MathType thing here.
