Creating Math in Blogger

I've decided to add MathJax¹ to my blog.

I have tried in the past to use MathML³, but it's support among internet browsers is still too fragmented to be of any use. It looks like this situation is likely to continue. Also, I am a big fan of the Tex notation, instead of the verbose XML I would need to get anything done in MathML.

The difference is obvious when you right-click on the Math Expressions below.

Example

When \(a \ne 0\), there are two solutions to \(ax^2 + bx + c =
0\) and they are \[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a}\]

JavaScript Snippet

I have added the below snippet to my HTML in my Template, as according to source [2].

<!-- Script for installing MathJax -->
<script type='text/x-mathjax-config'>
   //  <![CDATA[
    MathJax.Hub.Config({
      extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],
      showProcessingMessages : true,
      tex2jax: {

          displayMath: [ ["\\[","\\]"] ],
          preview : "TeX",
          processEscapes: true
      },
      TeX: {
        Macros: {
            Moon: "{&#9790;}"
   }
   }
    });
   //   ]]>
</script>
<script src='http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML' type='text/javascript'/>
<!-- End Script for installing MathJax -->
