As Jim mentioned, please reply to him, since this is a little off topic.

Subject: looking for way to put equations on web pages

I am looking for a convenient way to decently put mathematical equations on
my high voltage web site (http://home.earthlink-dot-net/~jimlux/hv/hvmain.htm).
I have had limited success with the MS Word equation editor which will save
the equation as a GIF file if you save the file as an RTF, however, you
then have to pick up the GIF and manipulate it in Photoshop before it works
right.  ASCII equations don't really fit the bill: either it relies on a
fixed pitch font to look right, or, if in "FORTRAN" format, it doesn't do
much for explaining what it is the equation is about.

Is there an "equation editor" that can spit out GIF images of the equation
that anyone knows about? Being able to control the size and scaling would
be nice, as well.

Reply off list preferably, because this isn't really Tesla related..
