jsMath - A Javascript Based Method of Including Mathematics in Web Pages

Website: http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/
License: GPL
Description:
The jsMath package provides a method of including mathematics in HTML pages
that works across multiple browsers under Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux and
other flavors of unix. It overcomes a number of the shortcomings of the
traditional method of using images to represent mathematics: jsMath uses
native fonts, so they resize when you change the size of the text in your
browser, they print at the full resolution of your printer, and you don't
have to wait for dozens of images to be downloaded in order to see the
mathematics in a web page. There are also advantages for web-page authors,
as there is no need to preprocess your web pages to generate any images,
and the mathematics is entered in TeX form, so it is easy to create and
maintain your web pages.

Although it works best with the TeX fonts installed, jsMath will fall back
on a collection of image-based fonts (which can still be scaled or printed
at high resolution) or unicode fonts when the TeX fonts are not available.
There is a control panel connected to a small floating button that lets
the user select which fallback method to use or change some other settings
like a scaling factor to use for the mathematics compared to the other text
on the page.
