LaTex Equation Editor on the web

Sep 15, 2007

There is an interesting work on the web, and it's free. It is LaTex Equation Editor, http://test.izyba.com/equationeditor/equationeditor.php. This tool creates an image with transparent background, making it easy to embed in other software such as MS PowerPoint.

The drawbacks are:
1. Text in the equation cannot be changed. If we need white text, we will find ourselves in trouble.
2. Text size is a bit too small. I like it bigger in many situations.

Note: if you know a way to handle these problems, please leave a comment in this blog.
Many thanks

Update (Oct 28, 2007): I found a better one. It is Roger's Online Equation Editor at http://rogercortesi.com/eqn/index.php#note. It can generate transparent background. Plus, we can increase resolution of an output to suit our work.
