[David Spitzley]

Actually, I have had good experience with ASCIIMath.  I suspect that the
display problems you are encountering are due to you not having the
necessary fonts installed.  You can check on one of my pages:

.  If you aren't seeing exponents and so forth in the equations, you
need to load a few things on your machine so the browser can display
them correctly.  Mozilla offers a MathML font installer at

The MimeTeX site has a pre-compiled binary for Windows that can be
downloaded -- see the "Precompiled Binaries..." section of
http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html .  So, maybe that can be
made to work.

If you have too much difficulty getting it to work on Windows,
let me know and I can see about adjusting the MimeTeX recipe.
