MimeTeX parses LaTeX math expressions, emitting either gif images or mime xbitmaps of them, rather than the usual TeX dvi's. MimeTeX 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 http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#examples for many examples demonstrating mimeTeX's features and usage.
