How to Display Math Symbols in WordPress

I recently found myself spending a lot of time uploading math images copied from screen shots of MathCad output. This problem became even worse when an economist pointed out several areas where I could improve my mathmatical development.

Some background notes
So I decided it was time to find a simple way to display WordPress posts using math symbols. I choose the work around the PHP library called phpmathpublisher developed by Pascal Brachet. I then took a little time to improve on the previous work of Matteo Bertini’s WordPress plugin for Pascal’s library called wphpmathpublisher.

Sample tag used to create output below

Results with the new size=xx attribute
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=6
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=8
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=10
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=12, or default if no size specified
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=13

$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=14
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=16
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=18
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=20
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=22
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=24
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=26
$f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}$ size=28
