Note: Some commands and symbols presented here require WPMathPub v3.0.5 (released!)
The WPMathPub plugin is built around the pmath shortcode block. More details and examples here>
pmath tag parameters
Enter a shortcode block like this…
[pmath size-control color-control pmath-syntax-processing]y=mx^2+b[/pmath]
Demonstration of color, size, native vs. LaTeX parameters
Enter this shortcode…
[pmath color=”#009900″ size=16]y=mx^2+2[/pmath]
[pmath color=”gray” size=20]y=mx^2+2[/pmath]
[pmath color=”red” size=14 latex=1]y=mx^2+2[/pmath]
The result looks like this …
