WebMath: math text on the web

[David K Smith]

Like  James Denholm-Price, I have used LaTeX and posted material in PDF
format.  My approach has been via the free MikTeX suite of programs, which
include PDFTeX and PDFLaTeX in the complete distribution.  So there is only
one stage to go through, rather than James' converting LaTeX ->
PostScript -> PDF with GhostScript.
the only disadvantage that I have found so far is with the use of \special
commands, which are unpredictable.  The one which I use most often involves
piktex, where a postscript special exists to convert straight line \plots
into postscript plots.  With PDFTeX, this doesn't work, so plotted straight
lines can use a lot of memory!

Just my two pennies/cents worth
