mimetex – Parse math expressions and emit gif or xbitmaps

Mim parses mathematics expressions, emitting either gif images or mime xbitmaps of them, rather than the usual DVI files. Mim images are therefore easily inserted directly into html documents using a standard html img tag without intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and without storing lots of little gif image files, one file for each converted expression. This makes your web site and html documents more easily maintained. See the mimetex web site for many examples demonstrating mim's features and usage.
