There is the way cool GPL mimetex.cgi which essentially takes LaTeX format input and converts it to a gif on the fly. It will do simple fractions or entire equations just as easily. You can use if off the command line as well Click Here to see just how powerful it is and a sample query LaTeX query string.

For what you asked for the only syntax you need to learn is as easy as 1+\frac{2}{2}+\frac{3}{3}=3 :-)

Try it out in the test widget here

Thanks tachyon!

That looks promising! I know a little latex syntax and if I can make use of mimetex.cgi to produce mathematical notations, it would be great.

But the problem is, I downloaded mimetex.zip and saw that I need to compile it - I don't have a compiler. Is mimetex.cgi the only file that's needed. I'm trying to search the Net for one...

Scroll down on the mimetex home page to find the links to download precompiled binaries for just about any OS. It is a stand alone executable, no dependencies.

cheers
