LaTeX with ASP.NET

Question

I need to dynamically create mathematical expressions in ASP.NET much like:

This

I have seen mimeTeX however, was curious if anyone knew of other solutions? I would like to use TeX without needing LaTeX on the server.

Thank you for your input.

Answer 1

This is very similar to this question, I think:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/516406/latex-equivalent-to-google-chart-api

My answer there was:

There is a modern service called "mathtran" which provides a robust and fast way to this sort of thing: http://www.mathtran.org/

The big caveat is that only TeX math commands are allowed; AMSLaTeX, in particular, is not supported.

Answer 2

Matplotlib has a TeX-like math typesetting engine suitable for single formulas. Its prerequisites include Python and numpy, but it is probably still going to be smaller than a complete TeX distribution tree. I heard that someone was going to extract the rendering engine to make it a standalone Python library in a Google SoC project, but haven't heard whether they were successful.

Answer 3

try this article, i was able to put it to good use.
