   Question for the blog builder people: How difficult would it be to include some basic LaTeX compilation into the markup system, in the similar way to how Wikipedia does it? (link)

   Not too hard; in fact it's on our to-do list.

   Ah, marvellous. That's excellent news. Any idea of a timescale?

   I expect it to appear at some point during the Autumn term. As a matter of interest, what is it that you'd like to be able to using LaTeX?

   Nothing more complicated than inline formulae I wouldn't have thought. The amsmath and amssymb packages would probably suffice.

   Sure. I guess I intended my question at a slightly higher level of abstraction; what do you want to be able to insert formulae into your blog for?

   Oh I see. Sorry. Not sure really. I was pondering how warwickblogs could be used for teaching, and was wondering about using posts to deliver content rather than just course organisational details. Not sure if it is either practical or desirable to use warwickblogs this way, but certainly LaTeX support would be a prerequisite for any experimenting.
