You cannot cut&paste equations in an html document. It only uses fonts that
are "regular" typing. Here's what I've done and what I've seen done on lots
of math sites.... I make my equations in CorelDraw -- like pieces of artwork!
I export them as gifs and use them that way. You can find an example at
http://www.coolmath.com/dampfunction1.htm. Even with this, you'll find that I
basically type the stuff as it I was entering it into a TI-92. All intricate
equations that I've seen on the web have been like this.

The equations on my page aren't very elaborate. You can check out more types
of stuff you can do with a drawing program by looking at

If anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them too!!!!
