I do like the idea that we are living in a cyclic universe. Cycles repeat, but each new cycle has some memory of the previous cycles. There is a "learning process". Certain features of the previous cycle are being destroyed, new features are being added. We can't really call it a "progress", since "regress" may also happen, for many reasons. It happens all the time: micro cycles, macro cycles, and megacycles.
Here we have an example with my blog. In the past I tried many options. Now I am going to abandon blogger and test the old-new solution. It took me days to reactivate my old blog, where I had LaTeX installed. Readers can also use inline latex in their comments. That is a big advantage - provided it works. It will take a while to fix all bugs that will certainly appear. But I am optimistic.
So, here is the previous post rendered with latex - to start with:
Floating in the Einstein Universe
Let me know how it works, and what needs fixing or improving?

25-11-25 8:21 I am still working on the reincarnating site, fixing technical problems. So occasionally the site may be broken. It is quite normal that when you try to fix something - you break it completely! I have updated Wordpress, updated QuickTex and other plugins, now I want to update PHP, and it causes crashes. Hopefully will fix it today.
26-11-25 17:14 Still working on reincarnation. Now you can really use latex, with $...$ and $$...$$ for formulas. Before starting writing tex code you just need to add [latexpage] in a new line, and after that line all latex code will be processed.
I will try to improve it even more, make it more user-friendly. Once in while I may crash the whole site, so be patient.

It looks fancy and mathematical, just as it should for a math oriented blog. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteHowever, on the front blog page, https://arkadiusz-jadczyk.eu/blog/ , all the LaTeX stuff are left as written syntax without any formatting.
And one small mistake; in the post line:
"Thus our quadratic form, written as a scalar product, becomes:
(v,v) = (v1)2 + …. + (vn)2 – (vn+1)2 + (vn+2)2 – (vn+3)2."
those 2s should most likely be in the superscript denoting squares.
For commenting on your old-new blog, an account has to be opened there, or so it seems. So, it would take a short while before popping up and starting to bother you there. :)

ReplyDeleteIt should work now. I am still fixing 1000's of issues.
And, as usual, fixing one problem breaks two other features.
