Overview
WPMathPub renders mathematical equations in WordPress using the mathpublisher rendering engine, supporting both pmath native syntax and LaTeX-style input and generating high-quality PNG images with transparent backgrounds.
Unlike MathJax-based plugins, WPMathPub performs server-side rendering, producing static equation images that display consistently across browsers and devices without requiring client-side JavaScript.
This approach provides reliable rendering for:
- WordPress posts and pages
- RSS feeds
- Cached pages
- Environments where JavaScript rendering is not desirable
WPMathPub extends the classic mathpublisher engine with modern WordPress integration including shortcode support, LaTeX translation, image caching, and configurable rendering options.
