$\LaTeX$ support

SIG|RED now supports $\LaTeX$ using the pretty cool JavaScript package MathJax and the method for Blogger described here. What's great about this method over others is that it uses CSS and web fonts, instead of Flash or embedded images rendered on demand.  This means that cutting and pasting rendered text is more likely to work.

You can enter math mode like you would in a normal document:

Maths between dollars is inline: $\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$.

Maths between slash-square-brackets is display: \[\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]
