Hi Christian,

I tried to have a look at MathEL, but I only get 403 Permission Denied...

> A Java-based parser/code-generator that can translate the MathEL language directly into MathML 2.0

> A mathematics-enabled wiki at http://km-works.eu/mathel-wiki/
> A set of tools that allow to translate MathEL expressions embedded in any XHTML file on the fly (web server or file system based).
> MathEL features a concise, highly readable and hence easy-to-learn, pure ASCII presentational mathematics authoring language that has been designed to enable a technical author to integrate mathematicals into any web site.

With MathEL there is no need for embedding generated math images into web pages and there is no need for site preparation phases of any kind. All content is served efficiently in real-time, and, even more important, all related computations are exclusively done on the server. Your browser's job is simply to aesthetically render MathML 2.0.
