Hi,
if the system that builds the html help page is latex capable, then it
would not be too difficult to use the same trick wikipedia is using
(generating a png file for each equation). Translating latex style
markup into mathml is another game, see this:
http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html for example.

Hi Jack,
I'm not sure about the <math> tag either, and it didn't work when I tried
it. I think the approach this web page uses may help in writing
mathematical symbols to HTML:

HTML help is not right for math formula:
For example:
I got the following formula in help page of ca.jo in urca package:
<p align="center">X_t = Pi_1 X_{t-1} + ... + Pi_k
X_{t-k} + μ + Phi D_t + varepsilon_t
, quad (t = 1, ..., T),</p>
<p>
This presentation is just not good, however, in most browser,
with tag <math></math>, the formula in the tag works well.
such as in wikipedia. please check the same formula:
