Functional and self-sufficient

Elegantly functional and self-sufficient. I am not a fan of the increasing trend towards plugins that require support of off-site server resources, like Jetpack’s sending of latex to WP’s servers for processing. Anything I am dependent upon an outside server for is something that can go wrong and allows someone else to monetize my web site.

I particularly like how this plugin uses a javascript library that puts the latex rendering burden on the client browser.

This plugin does allow serving of the required javascript from offsite, but does not require it nor is it enabled by default.

Usage is simple and easy. Resources are only expended on those pages that use latex – those that don’t have no overhead.
