If LW would update the page template to have the script in the html header, I think we’d be set. Isn’t there a site admin for this?
I think this is critical, because rationality in the end needs mathematical support, and MathJax is really the de facto way of putting math in web posts at this point.
Someone once requested that Less Wrong implement jsMath, and it seems like it was declined. I just submitted a request for MathJax. I guess we’ll see what happens.
That seems to accomplish the same thing as John Maxwell’s utility.
I have a file that contains text interspersed with many formulas in LaTeX math mode, delimited by dollar signs or whatever. I’d like something that will replace those $-delimited formulas with html image tags. I’ll probably write one myself when I need it.
LaTeX in Less Wrong
Also, the wiki page on using LaTeX in Less Wrong.
It would be ideal if there were a script somewhere that eats an austere LaTeX file and spits out an html file.
Wouldn’t the right solution be to use MathJax?
Hm, yes. I don’t think I can do that, though, because I can’t put javascript into posts.

You would be my personal hero for a period of time not exceeding a week, with at most ten possible thirty-second exceptions during that period.
I tweaked John Maxwell’s utility and came up with this thing. It only works for LessWrong posts, not comments.
EDIT: Now it works for comments too.
