Jared:

There is an add-on in Microsoft Word called Equation Editor 3.0.  This
allows full use of Greek, etc., and I have used it to generate some
very complex equations which came out looking very publishable.

Equation Editor has a "bigger brother" called MathType, which has Web
capability.  I haven't had a chance to try this out yet.  You can find
more information at:

> George, I'm not sure how "proper equations" would fit into the world of www 
pages. Obviously you could build web pages with any simple text editor. If 
you confine yourself the the HTML3.2 standard the language is fairly simple 
and it was considered normal to literally write the code for the
entire page, then simply open it in a browser (which you already have)
to view it, and redit it as needed.

> But HTML3.2 provides very limited support for equation writing as there is 
no easy means to include greek letters--they are not included in the usual 
western english character set on the computer. Still, there is  support for 
subperscript, subscript, lines above/below, and substantial equation
editing. You might want to seek out the old HTML3.2 standards at
http://www.w3c.org to see how powerful this can be--using the text
editor you already own, with whatever character support is already
present.

> A tiny graphics editor can be used to allow the insertion of small inline 
GIF images to extend that further if need be.
