LATEX, primarilly a UNIX utility, is a pretty popular program, and fairly
commonly found in the mathematical community for formatting equations and
formulas. I think you can get LATEX to HTML converters for free.
I have seen LATEX programs for the WINDOWS 95 platform as well. The only
problem is that LATEX programs are more difficult to use than their
windows 95 WP programs like WORD and such, but I think LATEX might
offer more flexability and it has the advantge of having been around
for a long time.
Unfortunately I cannot comment on the specifics, as I have never really
put products side by side. Perhaps a math person can help you out more?
Unfortunately they might not subscribe to webmasters.
There is LATEX documentation on www.math.niu.edu.
