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.
