Nice. It even behaves reasonably when a formula is truncated, as sometimes happens.

There should now be a new checkbox in the preferences tab of your profile. If you check it, then math will be rendered on all MO pages. Let me know if you experience any trouble.

Yes, I think that wouldn't be too hard to do. I think I'll get a chance to experiment with it a bit in the next few days. I'll post again here when there's a way to set a preference cookie.

Chocolate chip or otherwise?

Could this be done conditionally upon the existence of, say, a cookie?

As Harry said, rendering math on the homepage and the questions page is annoying enough for some people that we don't do it. But you can do it yourself by adding a "smart bookmark". Add a bookmark to your browser's bookmark toolbar with the "location"

javascript:loadScript("http://latex.mathoverflow.net/jsMath/jsMath.js");setTimeout('jsMath.Setup.Script("plugins/tex2math.js");jsMath.ConvertTeX();jsMath.Process(document);',200);void(0);

Now any time you want to render the math on a page, you should be able to do it by clicking the bookmark. If you have to click it twice for it to work, try changing the number 200 to something larger, like 500.

OK, I understand.

We tried it for a bit, but it made the page load significantly slower, so we trashed it.

Dear moderators and enthusiastic (meta-)math-overflow users,

In the 'questions'-page of mathoverflow, which is the homepage of the website as well,
the LaTeX isn't displayed in the title of the questions. Well, it isn't displayed on my computer interface... Am I the only
one who has to deal with this problem? Or is this normal? If it is 'normal', wouldn't it be a good idea to try to improve the
website by showing the math in the titles of the questions?
