Thanks for taking time to respond with your insights. Rendering math notation for screen display in an HTML browser is a difficult and challenging problem.

For a long time, TeX was the best-of-class document rendering software for mathematics. I believe TeX emits Postscript, which works wonderfully for printed articles and books. Web developers can either try to leverage legacy software like TeX or take an entirely different approach. Can you point to a good summary article on this topic?
