There are some sites on the web that render LaTeX into some more readable form, such as Wikipedia, some Wordpress blogs, and MathOverflow. They may use images, MathML, jsMath, or something like that.

I'm using TikZ to draw diagrams in LaTeX that I then want to isolate as image files to put online. My guess is there is a way to extract these diagrams directly without having to tease them out of the finished .pdf file. How would I go about doing that? (If it matters, I'm using TeXnicCenter.) ...
I am now writing a thesis which is required to have 1 and half inches on the left or binding side, and 1 inch on the other three sides. I just have my print-out checked in the binding office and I was told the margins are not okay, especially the one on the top is not enough, a little less than 1 inch. See the figure below: I wonder ...
I want to draw an x-y-diagram with axis labels. Unfortunately the ylabel is misplaced. It looks as depending on the actual data. When the other data line in the sample below is used instead of the upper line, it looks better. How can I move the label to the left or (more desirable) how can I tell pgfplot to do it corectly? % !TEX TS-pro...

Hi there, In my latex document i've set \hyphenpenalty=15000 and \pretolerance=10000 to remove word hyphenation and make text bounds even.

I tried to change the "List of Listings" text with the command \renewcommand*{\lstlistlistingname}{List of XYZ} before my \begin{document}. What's wrong with this? By the way \renewcommand*{\lstlistingname}{NewListing} worked like a charm. Edit: No error occurred, just no change in the text. It's still "List of Listings". By the...
