Equations on websites

At work our group is represented publicly online through Twitter, Facebook, mailing lists, web forums, etc., and a blog. Recently I have been working on blog entries. I finished one blog entry off today and drafted another on the geometry I had been working on. Wanting to represent matrix algebra in the latter I wondered how best to achieve that.

We use Jekyll to build our blog with kramdown as the markdown syntax. After some experimentation a pleasant discovery has been that I can include MathML in the blog entry and MathJax, a JavaScript library, appears to do a great job of causing it to display well even if the browser does not actually support MathML.
