 ===== What is it? =====
-This very simple plug-in makes a connection to the [[http://www.mathtran.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page|MathTran web service]], which provides translation of TeX encoded mathematics to bitmap images.

 ===== What is the catch? =====
-Images are re-built each time the page is accessed. This is no big deal since the MathTran webservice is quite responsive.
+Images are re-built each time the page is accessed. This is no big deal since the MathTran web service is quite responsive.
+===== Suggestion =====
+It will be better if we can use some parameters to control the alignment of the image. For example, ''%%<tex mediacenter>1+2</tex>%%'', which generate code like this ''%%<a alt="tex:1+2" class="mediacenter">%%''.
+And if the the image can be cached, the plugin can also be used in offline/personal wiki.
