Re: A new plug-in for firefox that makes *any* website display TeX formulas (including chats!)

Hello.

TeX THE WORLD is a new plug-in that automatically replaces all TeX
formulas in any webpage seen in Firefox to an image representing that
formula. All you need to do is make sure your equations are places
between [; and ;]. For example, anyone running this plug-in will see
this nicely: [;e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0;].

It works on *any* website, including webmails (tested on gmail and
hotmail), chats (tested on gmail's internal chat and phpFreeChat),
forums (like google groups [when viewing sci.math!]), and
theoretically everything!

Comments are more than appreciated!

After reading some enthousiastic remarks I had to try it myself.
And indeed, it works wonderful! Example:

<HTML><HEAD><BODY>
Here come two formulas: <P> [;\ln(x) = \int_1^x \frac{1}{t} \, dt;]
<P>[; \left[ \begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} \right] ;]
</BODY></HEAD></HTML>

Thanks, Avital! Keep up the good work!
