Thanks to Iraj Daizadeh, Jochen, William R. Smith, T. Daniel Crawford,
Ryszard Czerminski, Kirk Peterson, Huub van Dam, Eugene Leitl and Kieran F
Lim for answers.
Recommended programs were:
Tex and LaTeX to do the writing ( http://www.tug.org ), and then produce
html or PDF by
latex2html or pdfLaTeX
(http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/nikos/tex2html/doc/latex2html/latex2html.html)
...use your word processor of choice, i.e., Word or LaTex, convert into pdf
format (Adobe Postscript).
... Web applets (e.g. WebTex) that deal with mathematical equations. In
principle these work
nicely, but they load very slowly.
equation editor (Expressionist) to create
equations which can be copy-and-paste into a WYSIWYG html editor (Adobe
PageMill) which automatically converts the pasted image into a .gif image
I (MC) also found a program called MathType
(http://www.mathtype.com/features/samples/default.stm)
but I haven't used it yet.
