Hi,
Probably overkill for that particular query but when I need to write maths
in html, I use a very useful cgi called mimeTeX:
http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html
Once installed, you simply write the LaTeX code as you usually would, and
the picture is generated on the fly. You can also leave it in the cache
(better if the page receives a lot of hits).
It's fairly easy to install and doesn't require TeX. Just ask your sysadmin
if you're having difficulties. The page also refers to other solutions.
Hope it helps,
Chris
