TTH uses HTML tables and the fonts accessible to graphical browsers
to display mathematical equations, including Greek, large symbols,
expanding brackets and so on.

If the equation above does not show Greek letters or
large brackets
correctly, then your browser configuration needs some adjustment.
First make sure that your browser is set to "use document fonts" (Edit
Preferences Fonts Use-document-fonts) or in Mozilla "Allow documents to use
other fonts". This is obvious, of course, but necessary. If you still don't
see symbols follow these instructions.
Linux or other Un*x or VMS. Mozilla and its derivative browsers such
as Firefox can access the symbol fonts under X (e.g. Linux) at present
only if the system's font configuration is adjusted. For builds with
old-style fonts, the alias technique described in the
Xfonts.html
documentation is used. For anti-aliased-font browser builds that use the
fontconfig system, a special font must be installed. See
symfontconfig.html
Other browsers for linux/unix that can render
TtH's output include Konqueror from KDE, and Opera, but they need the
fonts or aliases respectively.
On pre OSX Mac you should change your Options/Document-Encoding to
"MacRoman" (in NS4.x View Encoding MacRoman).
On Windows, Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Mozilla should render the
symbol font fine (for the DOCTYPE now used by TtH: HTML 4.0). To
enable the fonts for other DOCTYPEs, follow the
instructions
for enabling symbol font in Mozilla (Windows) which has an
easy-to-use program that does the fix for you.
Sorry, but lynx does not support symbol fonts or tables, so it can't
render HTML produced by TTH.
If the equation above looks too spread out vertically, you should
check to see if you have (CSS) style sheets enabled in your browser,
and try turning them on. If it looks too compressed vertically, you
are probably using a browser with an incorrect implementation of CSS, and
you should turn it off.
A few examples
As an example, may I suggest you look at
my lecture
notes with lots of mathematics produced from a big LaTeX file. Notice there
that TTH has automatically included figures in the HTML that are
referred to in the LaTeX file. Of course, all the equation numbering,
contents production and HTML cross-referencing are done automatically.
Here is a substantial
a Plain
TeX document which has become a classic test. The gaps are created by
TeX skips and boxes for figures which were literally pasted in the
original (using paper cement - you remember that old technology,
don't you).
As another example of a LaTeX document, try the
TtH manual.
It is translated in real time and served to you directly by TTH from
TEX source.
TTH can translate TEX to HTML faster than browsers can render
HTML, so real-time service from a single source document becomes a reality.
If you like you can try out TtH interactively
over the web.
