It would be nice to add nicer math formatting. I currently use the
|
|
[[plugins/teximg]] plugin, but I wonder if
|
|
[jsMath](http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/) wouldn't be a better option.

I think [mathjax](http://www.mathjax.org/) would be the best option. This is the math rendering engine used in mathoverflow.
