The answers to your query so far have involved static graphic images of
equations -- hardly the ideal.

The real problem is that symbolization with HTML has not evolved. What we
need are expressions that students can copy and paste and, better yet,
adapt and change.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has recommended the Mathematical Markup
Language (MathML) as a way to do this. I believe it is now in beta.

Good luck!
