This post is composed in the text editor Vim, using the L^AT_EX format and converted to HTML using H^EV^EA. The HTML source is posted on this blog using the blogpost command line tool.

Using such a pipeline, there are several ways to produce mathematical equations. Either using images produced by H^EV^EA, default H^EV^EA rendering or using the L^AT_EX plugin installed in WordPress. The following compares the result produced by each of these three methods.
