## Help

Alright, fuzzy story, clue can be read below. So far I’ve done the following if I wanted to post something: Type the post in $\LaTeX$, copy/paste the post here, put latex-signs everywhere to tell WordPress you’re using $\LaTeX$, and done. However, today I realised how wrong this is. Apparently, and this is something I should’ve known, but didn’t, WordPress isn’t able to work within environments that, in $\LaTeX$, say ‘change from normal text to mathematical text and do something beautiful (like aligning equations)’. Because when you want to use $\LaTeX$ in WordPress you have to put alatex-sign in front, like I said, but Wordpress then automatically thinks that you’re writing math, so it changes to math-text. So you can’t tell WordPress that you want to change to math-text, because it already assumed that! But that also implies that you can’t use environments that tell $\LaTeX$ to go from normal to math text. Wow, that was even fuzzier that I thought it was going to be.

Long story short: I’m not able to display equations as neat as I want. In particular, the thing that tilts me the most is my inability to align equations. So I searched the forums, but no help. Then I started to try random stuff, didn’t help either. The best I was able to do, is something like the following:

$\begin{pmatrix}a^2+b^2&=&c^2\\&=&d^2-e^2\\&=&(d+e)(d-e)\end{pmatrix}$

which, in a very basic way, resembles something that, when I really want to see it, looks like it’s not insanely far from what I might want. But in any case, it just feels ridiculous to put equations in a matrix.

So: please please please help me. Either by telling me how to use the align-environment, without WordPress realising it, or by telling me that the above is, in fact, the best I can do, or by convincing me that it doesn’t really matter that much how math looks. Go!

EDIT: I found a way to do it, but that is like a hell. So if you have anything useful to say, please, still comment.
