Publishing mathematics content in a blog

Question

I would like just to publish few math-related blog entries on blog.com. For drawing and animation, I can use pictures (for animation, they would be animated gifs). However, what to do with equation, and similar content?

Note that blog editors offer only basic html editing.

Inline images? italics, subscripts, superscipts for the most basic stuff? — Hagen von Eitzen, Jan 17 '14 at 17:25
Subscripts and superscripts would not be the problem in that blog editor, however I need more than this. — VividD, Jan 17 '14 at 17:29
Use MathJaX http://www.mathjax.com/ it is the same that this site uses to display math. You need to know LaTeX code however but any serious typesetting of mathematics ought to involve LaTeX. — Sergio Parreiras, Jan 17 '14 at 18:31
@SergioParreiras For personal blogs, KaTeX is much faster than MathJax. @ VividD To set up a personal math blog, my meta answer might help you. — GNUSupporter 8964民主女神地下教會, May 24 '19 at 11:59

Use either Wikipedia or some math-related site such as this to temporarily create LaTeX content, use print screen, and then upload the picture onto your blog.

Depending on client settings, Wikipedia will even create ready-to-use PNG files for you (no need to crop them from a printscreen) – Hagen von Eitzen Jan 17 '14 at 17:26
That's what I was considering too. It solves the problem, but its a kind of hard to manage... – VividD Jan 17 '14 at 17:27
Also, I'm not sure if those images require licensing information or the like. (Understandibly, the Wikipedia squirrels won't be happy about people using the site as a free TeX-to-PNG tool) – Hagen von Eitzen Jan 17 '14 at 17:33
@HagenvonEitzen: Have you ever asked them ? They allow user pages and sub-pages, and I personally have a few little math pages hosted there. – Lucian Jan 17 '14 at 17:43
@Lucian They (actually: we) specifically say what Wikipedia is not, and hosting pages vie user pages is listed there. – Hagen von Eitzen Jan 17 '14 at 19:47

Many people use $\LaTeX$ for math-related typesetting.

Yes, many thanks, it looks this Pandoc tool could be useful for me. However, I am not sure, if the blog site would accept html output of Pandoc - since they don't allow full standard html (if they had allowed, I wouldnt have had this problem), just a subset, but I will try Pandoc. – VividD Jan 17 '14 at 17:33
