    Latex Link
In summary, the conversation discusses the search for a site that allows users to type in LaTeX commands and then share it with others via email or instant messaging. Some suggestions for IM clients that support LaTeX are mentioned, but the search for a specific site continues. The conversation also includes a link to a site that can generate permanent URLs for LaTeX equations and a discussion about using the correct syntax for LaTeX commands.

hmm, well i dk of any sites that just parse email for the sake of sending it to other people, but some IM clients can support latex.

kopete, a linux IM client, supports latex out of box (all you need is a latex distro and imagemagick)

also, GAIM/pidgin has a plugin that provides latex functionality (i'm not aware of the state of this plugin on win32 systems)

please let me know if you do find a site like that though, I was also interested in finding one.

I will :)
I've been looking for the last hour. My searches only yield tutorials on how to use LaTeX or porn sites...lol.

edit: [tex]a^2+b^2+c^2 \geq ab+bc+ca [/tex]

Use this site: http://at.org/~cola/tex2img/index.php and use the "generate parmanent URL" option once you've verified the TeX works.

For example: http://snappy.at.org/~cola/tex2img/image.php?id=d27de9f908d143f86bf469e8ece7ad06

that site doesn't seem to work ?

I tried [ t e x ] a^2 [ / t e x ]

without spaces, obviously, and it gave me errors. When I clicked on the link I got the dreaded X...

Help pls??
