I'm looking for a mathematical WYSIWYG HTML editor. So it has to be capable of producing well formed mathematical expressions like in this example:

Pricing doesn't matter, but it can be free 2 offcourse. If it is , the creator can expect a large donation ;)

It should be capable of producing the most common math expressions available , if not all! It don't expect it to work properly on IE6 but IE7 and IE8 would be nice!

Take a look at mathoverflow.net. They handle math markup very well. They use MathJax.

MathOverflow LaTeX support is MathJax, a method of including mathematics in web pages using javascript.

Math.SE uses MathJax, which is better, but in either case they only *render* LaTeX, so no they aren't WYSIWYG editors

@Yi: If I am not mistaken, it shows a preview of the output as you are typing the codes. This may be sufficient for the OP.

it must be possible to edit / add them IN the browser , so purely on a webpage, not requiring some extra desktop plugin or such.

Mathematicians swear by TeX as being the most effective way to describe complex formulae to the degree that the'll often use TeX notation when communicating via plain text.

There are a number of different editors for different circumstances, but I've personally never seen a more concise, accurate, and on-the-fly modifiable means of getting idea to typography.

thx , that list made my day! :) There are some scripts that might do the trick!

If pricing really doesn't matter have a look at Mathematica. It can export mathematical expressions in MathML which most browsers can present, either natively or with a plug-in.
