Latex Plugin For Pelican
This plugin allows you to write mathematical equations in your articles using Latex.
It uses the MathJax Latex JavaScript library to render latex that is embedded in
between $..$ for inline math and $$..$$ for displayed math. It also allows for
writing equations in by using \begin{equation}...\end{equation}.
Installation
To enable, ensure that latex.py is put somewhere that is accessible.
Then use as follows by adding the following to your settings.py:
PLUGINS = ["latex"]
Be careful: Not loading the plugin is easy to do, and difficult to detect. To
make life easier, find where pelican is installed, and then copy the plugin
there. An easy way to find where pelican is installed is to verbose list the
available themes by typing pelican-themes -l -v.
Once the pelican folder is found, copy latex.py to the plugins folder. Then
add to settings.py like this:
PLUGINS = ["pelican.plugins.latex"]
Now all that is left to do is to embed the following to your template file
between the <head> parameters (for the NotMyIdea template, this file is base.html)
{% if article and article.latex %}
{{ article.latex }}
{% endif %}
{% if page and page.latex %}
{{ page.latex }}
{% endif %}
Usage
Latex will be embedded in every article. If however you want latex only for selected articles, then in settings.py, add
LATEX = 'article'
And in each article, add the metadata key latex:. For example, with the above
settings, creating an article that I want to render latex math, I would just
include 'Latex' as part of the metadata without any value:

Latex Examples
###Inline
Latex between $..$, for example, $x^2$, will be rendered inline
with respect to the current html block.
###Displayed Math
Latex between $$..$$, for example, $$x^2$$, will be rendered centered in a
new paragraph.
###Equations
Latex between \begin and \end, for example, begin{equation} x^2 \end{equation},
will be rendered centered in a new paragraph with a right justified equation number
at the top of the paragraph. This equation number can be referenced in the document.
To do this, use a label inside of the equation format and then refer to that label
using ref. For example: begin{equation} \label{eq} X^2 \end{equation}. Now
refer to that equation number by $\ref{eq}$.
