2. Upload mimetex.cgi to your cgi_bin directory
3. Copy the content of math_env.php (see download link) into the textarea in the Administration -> Plugins section of Textpattern
4. Change the path to the mimetex.cgi in the plugins’ preferences
5. Activate the plugin

Usage

You use this plugin the following way:

<txp:math_env>x^2 = 0</txp:math_env>

…this will, e.g., print out the given equation “x^2 = 0” as a nicely rendered image.
