(Fwd) RE: [MATHEDCC] HTML question

There are several ways which I have used to add equations to my
calculus project including the several ways mentioned so far on this
thread. Most of the equations come from a procedure similar to
that described by Chuck below; to get a better image, I save the
output of Expressionist (an old equation editor) to encapsulated
postscript and then process the file with Photoshop.

Recently, I have been looking at using Java applets. Hoteqn is a
free Java applet which can display equations and even add some
interactivity. You enter the equations using latex. To see a page
on which I am using this applet, look at

http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/2/formulas.1/

There is a reference there to the hoteqn site. The site also
includes an editor (which you can save) which will generate the html
code which you can then paste into your document.

The downside of using the Java applet is that you cannot print the
page.

Best,
Larry

Here's how I usually do it:

1) Use Equation Editor to create your equation
2) copy it to the clipboard
3) paste it into a simple graphics conversion program (I use Lview)
4) save it as a GIF file in the same directory as your HTML page
5) Use the Insert Image command in Page Composer, type in the file name you
gave the image.
