Nice Math Font

What is the best way to get the really fancy math fonts that are shown in webpages? Something like this: http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~hass//Calculus/HTAC/excerpts/node20.html I have downloaded a LaTex variant, and that seems to work decently, but I can't figure out any way to export it to html. I could manually take printscreens of the equations, but I am trying to put together a comprehensive site on calculus, so that would be rather tedious. Is there a simple way to convert LaTex to html (pdf, tex, etc.), or is there a simple program that can do it for me? Thanks for the help

latex2html (or dvi2html) should be included in your LaTeX distribution. You should also have pdflatex or dvipdf.

If not, well, at least now you know what to search for. [smile]

I tried the latextohtml, and a "texi2html," but they didn't create the image files. Wherever math was supposed to show they just put the code. Is there a parameter you have to enter to tell it to create the images?

Thanks again

None that I can remember. Sorry. I was using the MikTeX Windows distribution, if it's of any help.

I use Formulator, SciWriter and DirectMath. Also, depending on how much you wish to invest in this I also suggest you consider Publicon, I prefer it most.

In order of preference for me I like, Publicon, SciWriter, Formulator and finally DirectMath. Formulator is free (it says something about registering for some features which have little relevance so I ignored that) and DirectMath is quite cheap. SciWriter is the next in price and quality and worth it I suppose. But none compare to Wolfram's offering in my opinion.

I currently use MimeTeX (http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html). It is nice in it doesn't require readers to install MathML fonts, but some of the formatting is a little wonky and you need to be able to install a cgi binary on the site. I'll have to look into some of those other options too.

Well, I finally figured it out using this if anyone is curious.
