Article: MathType + Word = Equations on the Web

Publishing web pages that include mathematical symbols is becoming more frequently required, and it's perhaps not surprising that the problem has been tackled most effectively by MathType, the software which has provided the same help for conventional documents.

MathType now includes new technology called MathPage that easily converts Microsoft Word documents to Web pages, properly handling mathematical symbols and equations, viewable in any modern Windows, Macintosh, Unix and Linux browser.

If you've ever tried to save a Web page using Microsoft Word's “Save As Web Page” feature, you know that the results are often less than desirable. With MathType 5, your entire Word document is transformed into a Web Page, with equations as GIF images or MathML, automatically appearing in your browser, with beautiful results.

Pages are standard HTML with JavaScript and work in all modern browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla), on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix). There's no software to install on your Web server. Everything is done in the browser.

MathPage generates high-resolution GIFs for each equation, so that all equations print with laser-printer quality instead of blocky, pixelated images. It's the ideal solution.
