   Hey,

   as far as I can see, text that looks like a latex formula on a wordpress.com blog gets automatically parsed to an image.
   I am posting to wordpress with org-mode and org2blog, an external utility that uses the xml-rpc interface.
   I would like to use the latex-parsing capabilities provided in these packages rather than the automatic wordpress latex parsing.

   Actually it all works pretty well (the resulting images get uploaded via xml-rpc and included into the blog post), except that org-mode includes the original latex code in the alt=".." element of the <img> tag.
   apparently wordpress subsequently tries to parse this very alt-text as an latex image which obviously goes wrong and messes up the formatting.

   In general I think it is undesirable that the alt-element is parsed (a bug?) but in my concrete example it would suffice to disable automatic latex parsing in the wordpress blog. Unfortunately I could not find any such option in the admin interface.

   Thanks in advance for any help,
   Daniel
