Using open source wikiPad and mimeTeX, one can have a personal Wiki system writing Wiki notes with mathematics symbol support.

1. Download and install wikiPad.
2. Download and compile mimeTeX.  I used MinGW to compile.  Remember to put the bin directory of MinGW to the system path for gcc to work properly.
3. Add "drive:\path-to-mimetex\mimetex.exe" to WikiPad's plugin options (at the bottom of Extra->Options).
4. I am using wikidPad 2.3beta01, and there is one minor fix needed to make mimeTeX work properly. Use an text editor to open MimeTexCGIBridge.py in the extensions directory of WikiPad.  Find the line that reads 
   

     cmdline = subprocess.list2cmdline((self.extAppExe,))
   
   and change it to

     cmdline = subprocess.list2cmdline((self.extAppExe,bstr))
   
   Save the file, and that's it.

For inline math, use

[:eqn:"math_formula"] 

and for displayed formula, use

[:eqn:"\$math_formula\$"]
