I've seen several websites use a markup language called MathJax to render LaTeX mathematical symbols on screen. For example, this post renders text like
$$ E[T]=\int_0^\infty \left(1-\prod_{j=1}^m (1-e^{-p_j t})\right) dt, $$
as a readable formula.
Any chance we could get that functionality here?

Wizard, it's apparently just 'as simple' as putting this text in the <head> section of your web pages. I was able to download this page as html, insert the text below into the text page, and when I opened the saved page in Explorer, I got the math symbols to appear quite beautifully.
E[T]=¡Ò ¡Þ 0 ⎛ ⎝ 1−¡Ç j=1 m (1−e −p j t )⎞ ⎠ dt,
