Run TeX Live on a Web Site

Post by texNewb »

I have website and I would like to be able to write LaTeX equations and have them rendered on pages. I've used the CodeCogs service for a while and it's great, but I would really like to use a service that doesn't limit the number of equations that can be rendered.

I use Dreamhost for my web host and when I typed "tex" into an SSH window the response was:
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)
So it would appear that TeX Live is installed on my server. My question is, how do I use it? Are there any easy-to-follow/simple instructions on how I can get TeX Live to work with my website?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Run TeX Live on a Web Site

Hi,

you could use MathTeX for that. It's free and open source, and uses your local TeX installation.
