Mathematical formulas

The math mode support in Hyperlatex is still more or less experimental. Many math mode macros are implemented, but currently simply generate a textual representation (so \alpha generates alpha). Only when \htmllevel is set to html3, then tags and entities for HTML 3 are created (for instance "α" for \alpha). This feature is completely experimental.

You can use $, \(, \), \[, \], and the environments displaymath and equation to type mathematics.

Subscripts, superscripts, fractions (with \frac) and roots (with \sqrt) are understood. So are all greek letters, and the commands

   \pm \times \div \ast \cdot \cdots \ldots \setminus 
   \leq \le \geq \ge \equiv \approx \neq \mid \parallel
   \infty \partial \forall \exists
   \uparrow \downarrow \leftarrow \rightarrow \leftrightarrow
   \Uparrow \Downarrow

   \sum \prod \int 
All log-like functions are implemented. They simply typeset their own name.

Support for other math-mode features will be added when stable HTML 3 browsers become widely available.
