Latex plugin

So I figured out my confusion from earlier and am here to offer:
http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~bchase/latex_render/

as the README states, this is highly derivative of the LatexRender php
script and was inspired by the rtex rails plugin. If someone has a
better place to host it, feel free to do so. Also, since this is my
first ruby/rails project, any tips on improvement are greatly
appreciated.
