(1) Math macros and other \newcommand's need to be output as \newcommand, not
ignored or put out as \global\long\def. Likewise \renewcommand needs to be
output as such. Some symbols, such as <, need to be converted to their html
counterparts so that the browser doesn't get confused.
(2) The following information needs to be added to the header:
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
extensions: ["tex2jax.js","jsMath2jax.js"],
jax: ["input/TeX","output/HTML-CSS"],
TeX: {
}
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML";>
</script>

Exactly.

I've described that above. I'm also attaching a sample html file. Notice the
\newcommand's; IMHO any such that appear in the LaTeX preamble should be added
to the body of the HTML file; Lyx does not do that currently. It's easy to add
those manually, of course, but it's darned annoying.

What is a "copier"? In all the attempts I've tried, I've done it by hand.
