Writing equations is not east in HTML.It can be done, see
http://faculty.southwest.tn.edu/hmorris/ArthRev.html#_71 for an example. My
problem is I had to do that with <table> code and cannot do it within a
paragraph. My suggestion would to add <trow> which would work like a single
<tr> within a table. It would have a default CSS attribute of display:inline.
It might need an additional attribute of center:auto which means put 1/2 the
<trow> above the center of the text-line. Values of center: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2,
2.5, etc. would means put that many line heights above the center of the text
line. The <trow> would work something like <sup> and <sub> by reserving
additional space around the current line so that overlap does not occur. I
suppose another solution would be to add LaTex script to HTML but prefer to
avoid script if I can do it in HTML. Thank you. Howard_Cary_Morris@hotmail.com

Does MathML solve your problem? We added that to HTML to make maths a lot more tractable.
