Here’s a plugin that seems to allow for pretty decent, fairly synchronous LaTeX editing in WordPress. It’s been polished up by Claude Code. That’s why you get a readme.1 While I’m not going to share it more widely at Middlebury2, it does point at some interesting general capabilities that I might use for something else. […]

My goal this morning was to see if I could tie in the OpenAI API for a project where I uploaded images to WordPress and it automatically extracted the text from the image. Since I’ve been using the OpenAI API previously and had a decent amount of success with text extraction, I went ahead and […]
Alan has been on top of some things happening with pinboard.in. It seems that public links to tags, searches, etc. have been shut off due to hackers attacking those urls. That’s been the social bookmarking site of choice for a number of people in my internet circles. I’m not super-social but it is important to […]

One of the requests yesterday was to be able to create a mini-dictionary of target language words at the beginning of sections written in that target language. Mousing over the words would show their English equivalent. The intent is to have […]
When you add images to H5P questions, the default behavior is to present them small. You can then click to make them go full size. We didn’t want to do that with the histology stuff. Luckily you can override the css as described here. I didn’t test this against other H5P options so it may […]
If you’re running the H5P plugin in WordPress, you might notice that there’s an advanced settings option when you go to embed it. If you click on that you’ll see an additional script to add to enable dynamic sizing of embedded H5P content. I wanted that but that option doesn’t make much sense in our […]
I made a little shortcode plugin for making it fairly easy to embed YouTube video snippets. The plugin supports both a start and end time or either a start or end time. It also now allows you to embed multiple videos on a single page. The plugin works like below. Times are in seconds. [yt_video […]
