Abstract	At this time there is still no fast and standard way of presenting mathematics in HTML pages. Various ideas have been tested and the W3C has just released a draft math markup proposal. When combined with freely available fonts containing the required mathematical characters, we can see much potential for the future. For now it seems that there is only one common denominator suitable for quickly browsing HTML with lots of math: preprocess the mathematics into images and embed links in the HTML that call in the images. The following describes work at AIP in converting physics research articles from SGML to HTML, creating the needed images for math. This allows us to present abstracts or full articles on the web. The tools used are TEX, AMS-LATEX, dvips, Image Alchemy (for image processing), various PostScript (PS) fonts, gcc, and perl.
