Thanks Paulo, I understand your thoughts about the external rendering service. They encourage people to do a similar thing as to what I do in my tiddlywiki by offering up some javascript to amateurs like myself. This implies that it is rather robust (and it hasn't failed me for the few weeks I've had the site up). But I agree with you using internal rendering engines seems more responsible.
Since the purpose of my site is more out of enthusiasm than professionalism I think this is an appropriate tool. I cannot remember how I was taught limits It's been so long ago I took up my old calculus book and tried to give a basic informal idea. I tend to use the definition of continuity backwards to show when the limit will equal the function value. Thanks for your comments. I'll try to make it a bit more clear. I've never done a TW formatter I suppose it would allow me to do things like Eric Shulman's <script></script> TW sintax. Am I correct in what I am saying? I tend to use code examples to write this kind of stuff. now I don't quite see how we would be replacing $\sin x$ with an image. thanks Paulo.
