Unless someone has expanded the math plugin, it does not recognize
trig functions or pi. Just simple numbers and arithmetic symbols. It's
also available in the core like this:
{ (3+5)/2 } should output 4...
Oops. The () aren't recognized. The pattern in line 27 of markups.php
should be changed to '/\{ (\+|\-|\=)?([-+0-9\/.*() =]+)? \}/e'. Next
release...
It works as is without the (), but of course you get 5.5. Also, no
spaces can be entered in this format. Anyway, I've had on my list to
revisit the math/counter capabilities in the core for awhile. Perhaps
in the next round of releases.
But as for the original question, there is no support of latex in the
core of BoltWire, and no plugin. It would be great to have one if
someone could pull it together. To be honest, I know next to nothing
about latex, but would be happy to help if anyone has questions or
gets stuck with something specific.
Cheers,
Dan
