> General info: mimeTeX lets you easily embed LaTeX math in your html
> pages. It parses a LaTeX math expression and immediately emits the
> corresponding gif image, rather than a TeX dvi. And mimeTeX is an
> entirely separate little program that doesn't need TeX or its
> fonts. It's just one cgi that you put in your site's cgi-bin/
> directory, with no other dependencies. So mimeTeX is very easy to
> install. And it's equally easy to use. Just place an html <img> tag in
> your document wherever you want to see a LaTeX math expression. For
> example, <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\sqrt{a^2+b^2}"> displays the
> corresponding gif image wherever you put that <img> tag.
