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.

With PhpMathPublisher, you can publish mathematical documents on the web by using only a php script (no latex programs on the server, no mathml...). * The method : each formula is transformed into image by a php script which returns the corresponding html code. * Advantages for the visitors : the web pages created by PhpMathPublisher can be displayed by all the current browsers. The visitor does not have anything to install on his system: neither fonts, nor plugins... * Advantages for the webmasters : o Only Php (with the GD library) and some fonts are required. o PhpMathPublisher is simple to install and use. You can convert a mathematical text with only one php command. o It can be easily used by CMS systems, weblogs and forums. o PhpMathPublisher creates cross-browser pages. o The png images created by the script are transparent and can be placed in any page.
