I'd like to clarify that the initial implementation of org2blog, IIRC, did make use of the png images and upload them to the blog. Sometime, later support was added to support Wordpress's LaTeX plugin. To render your LaTeX using this, in your wordpress blog, just set the variable `org2blog/wp-use-wp-latex`. [Btw, I hope you are indeed talking about org to wordpress org2blog. There's another one that publishes to blogspot, with the same name.] > The preferred way to enter math in latex (and in org) is with \(...\) > for inline formulas and \[...\] for displayed ones. $...$ will work with > certain restrictions noted in the org docs (see below) for the inline > case, $$...$$ does *not* work for the displayed case (it's not even legal > LaTeX). > > C-h v org-export-with-LaTeX-fragments RET has the details. > > (info "(org) LaTeX fragments") has more on $...$, mathJax etc. Also, all of these ways which do work with HTML export should work with the org2blog. Also, thanks Nick for the detailed answer. :) HTH, Puneeth
