LaTeX, a document preparation system and document markup language, was started as a writing tool for mathematicians and computer scientists. However, it was also taken up by scholars in its early stages to write documents that included complex non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic, Sanskrit and Chinese.

The wonderful power of LaTeX to cope gracefully with complex languages and layouts remains unique even today. It is used for everything from business letters to multi-volume aircraft maintenance manuals, TV program guides, critical editions of Asian classics, and projector presentations for conference talks. Use of LaTeX requires LaTeX compiler, a software program that parses LaTeX markup string and renders the equation. LaTeX compiler is available on desktop environment as it is shipped with the LaTeX word processor software and is accessible once the software installed. To use LaTeX in blogs, forums or websites, it requires LaTeX compiler to be accessible online. Numerous online LaTeX compilers have been published, but most of them are not free and are too much complex. We developed Tinyray LaTeX web service to support LaTeX online. The service is available at ws.tinyray.com/latex. Use of this service is very simple, by just submitting LaTeX markup string as query string parameter, following the protocol below,

For example, given the LaTeX markup string of the Rician distribution equation, P_{\mathrm{Rice}}%28x%29%20=%20\frac{x}{\sigma^2}\exp\left%28-\frac{\mu^2+x^2}{2\sigma^2}%20\right%29%20I_0\left%28\frac{\mu%20x%20}{\sigma^2}%20\right%29 The request sent to Tinyray web service has the form: http://ws.tinyray.com/latex/?P_{\mathrm{Rice}}%28x%29%20=%20\frac{x}{\sigma^2}\exp\left%28-\frac{\mu^2+x^2}{2\sigma^2}%20\right%29%20I_0\left%28\frac{\mu%20x%20}{\sigma^2}%20\right%29 then, the result is, To use LaTeX with Wordpress blogs using Tinyray LaTeX web service, please install Tinyray Wordpress plugin and apply the tag $latex … $ to your LaTeX markup string contents.
