I want to make a maths forum used Latex? You can help me???
What?? What's Latex?? I'm assuming you don't mean the stuff you get from trees.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX

You'll need a modification for this. Moved to Requests.
I personally would prefer MathML over LaTeX, since MathML is text-based (LaTeX gets converted into an image on the server).

In either case, MediaWiki has a parser for LaTeX (and another for MathML). They would have to be converted over to MyBB (preferably with caching). I would implement it as a custom tag.

To each his own, but it only works on Opera and Firefox Sad
you don;t know !!
any solutions?
anyone can help me made a plugin??? I am bad about Code!!!
After extensive searching, I've come to the conclusion that there isn't a pure PHP solution available. You will need to make a system call to some 3rd party utility to create the image and put the appropriate <img/> tag in the (x)html your parser spits out. Since most hosts don't let you call exec or system -- and with good reason -- this plugin would be of extremely limited use.

The other solution uses a 3rd party CGI program which spits out the image (do a search on math server), so php doesn't make any system calls directly, but how many hosts allow CGI?
