This page contains more information
than you'll probably need to read. If you follow the
Installation and Usage Summary
below, try installing mimeTeX immediately. Or continue reading until you feel comfortable
trying to install mimeTeX.
Prerequisites are: some knowledge of your OS's shell,
of installing cgi's, of LaTeX.
"Computers are like Old Testament gods:
lots of rules and no mercy."
–– Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
(Doubleday 1988, page 18)

MimeTeX, licensed under the
gpl,
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 the usual TeX dvi.
And mimeTeX is an entirely separate little program that doesn't use
TeX or its fonts in any way. 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 mimeTeX is equally easy to use:
just place an html <img> tag in your document
wherever you want to see the corresponding LaTeX expression.
wherever you put that tag.
MimeTeX doesn't need intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and it doesn't
create separate gif files for each converted expression.
(But you can enable image caching with mimeTeX's
-DCACHEPATH=\"path/\"
compile option.)
And there's no inherent need to repeatedly write the
cumbersome <img> tag illustrated above.
You can write your own
wrapper scripts,
discussed below, around mimeTeX to simplify the notation.
MimeTeX's benefit over similar math-on-the-web solutions is, as
mentioned above, its easy installation. But if that's not a
problem for you, and if your site's server already has a LaTeX
distribution installed, and suitable image conversion utilities like
ImageMagick,
then you may prefer to look at a math rendering script like
latexrender
which uses LaTeX to create higher quality images than mimeTeX
produces. For comparison,
,
with arbitrary mean
and standard deviation

and at mimeTeX's next larger font size, looks like

Similar LaTeX-based solutions that you may want to look at are mathtran, textogif and gladTeX. Additional discussion and several more links are at www.tug.org/interest.html and in the tex-faq.
For example, mathtran
is a public LaTeX web service that's
particularly easy to use by following these simple
instructions. In the <head> of your
html page, place the tag
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.mathtran.org/js/mathtran_img.js"></script>
and in the <body>, wherever you want to see latex images,
place tags like
<img alt="tex:any latex math expression">
For comparison,
<img alt="tex: f(x) = \frac1{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}
\int_{-\infty}^x e^{-\frac{(t-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}dt">

You may now want to browse the additional Examples below before proceeding, to make sure mimeTeX suits your needs before you spend more time learning to use it.
MimeTeX is as TeX-like as possible (though not 100% compliant), and you must already be familiar with LaTeX math markup to use it. If you're not, many online LaTeX turorials are readily available. You may also want to browse Andrew Roberts' Latex Math I and Latex Math II, or my own LaTeX math tutorial. Then, instead of continuing to read this page, you can just Submit any LaTeX math expression you like in the Query Box below. I've started you out with a little example already in the box, or you can Click any of the Examples below to place that corresponding expression in the Query Box.
