## A Greasemonkey user script to display LaTeX on Web pages

[This article has been translated to Serbo-Croatian language by Jovana Milutinovich from Webhostinggeeks.com.]

This is a computer program, suitable for use with Mozilla Firefox 1.5 equipped with the Greasemonkey extension, that displays mathematical formulae written in the LaTeX language.

It works by translating the LaTeX into MathML, which Firefox 1.5 can render.

When this program — the “Display LaTeX user script” — is activated, any text appearing inside dollar signs $...$ is assumed to be LaTeX markup and is parsed.

The user script is free software available under a MIT-style license.

### Usage instructions

1. First, you may need to install some TrueType fonts for mathematical symbols.

If you are using the Debian or Ubuntu Linux distribution, an alternative is to just install the latex-xft-fonts package; this package has an advantage that it is free software, and the fonts in this package have fewer bugs. The type faces are also in the traditional TeX style rather than in Mathematica’s strange style.

2. Load up the Mozilla Firefox browser (At least version 1.5). (Display LaTeX does not work with other Web browsers.)
4. View this Display LaTeX script. Click on the “Install” button that will appear to install it.
