MathTeX is a CGI program, written in C, that usesLaTeX and either dvipng or dvips/convert to emit GIF or PNG images ofLaTeX mathematical expressions. Users can put mathematics directly in html pages with an <img> tag of the form
  <img src="/cgi-bin/mathtex.cgi?f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt">
(see the package home page for a complete discussion).

MathTeX is a successor of the author's earliermimε-TeX; but mathTeX uses realLaTeX, where as mimε-TeX uses its own built-in fonts, interpreter and rendering engine. Users who haveLaTeX available on their server can obtain higher quality images and fullLaTeX support with mathTeX. Users whose server doesn't offerLaTeX can continue to use mimε-TeX. The two programs are “plug-compatible”, using the same <img> tag “user interface”, so migration is trivial.

The package home page carries extensive documentation of MathTeX.
