  How do I use MathML in WordPress.com? While I know you support Latex, I do not want to learn another complicated markup language for the purpose of a couple of blog posts. Libre Office’s Gui Formula editor outputs MathML that renders without difficulty in my browser, but when I put it in the html section, I get garbled text displayed in the gui side.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  We don’t support MathML here in WordPress.com. The only math formatting we support is LaTeX.

  LaTeX

  Sorry I can’t be more helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

  If I follow the instructions on the page by placing the example in the view text area, I don’t get a rendered formula. I just get the same exact text. It shows up as “$latex LaTeX&bg=ffcccc&fg=cc00ff&s=4$” in both the visual and the text view.

  Hi there!

  I just placed the code

  $latex LaTeX&bg=ffcccc&fg=cc00ff&s=4$

  into my test site and it worked correctly:

  If you could, save your test as a draft so I can figure out why it’s not working.
