Are there any way to embed mathml in a post (and get it rendered when viewing the post)?

Or are there another easy way to include math-formulas in a post?

There is no way to embed the actual MathML markup (XML/HTML style) into a post.

The best alternative is to use a MathML editor (many online) and then take a screen capture of the resulting equation, and then just embed the image like you would a screenshot.

I just tried phibin.

You go to phibin.com, enter your LaTex equation, example

Code

\begin{document}
  Hi guys, here is 
 \[\cos x=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k)!}x^{2k}\]
\end{document}

Server answers with an url

Code

{  "item_id":"4ecd627bd470cce81c000003",  "url":"http:\/\/phibin.com\/4ecd627bd470cce81c000003",  "image":{   "url":"http:\/\/phibin.com\/data\/latex\/309\/30946b532fe66d88e65195cd1a25fcef666a8983.png",   "width":541,   "height":106  } }

That actually works :

Thanks for that link...it works really well..

It seems it can even render on the fly, so its >>almost<< as rendering inline

its just a http get with the LaTeX as a parameter (I put it in a IMG tag here to get it rendered)

Code

http://phibin.com/api/render?snippet=\bf\[\cos%20x=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k)!}x^{2k}\]

The link doesn't seem valid anymore. Oh well...it was a nice find anyway.
