I'd like to port a large LaTeX document to a web browsable format but it makes heavy use of pstricks and picture environments. Can anyone comment on how well this would cope with that or what alternatives might help?

Currently the best approach is to just serve the pdf. You will not be able to get a direct translation. There is a very good forum for TeX now at http://tex.stackexchange.com/

#33Looks nice! Minor issue with spacing in my browser: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/6766/spacingissue.png Source of the top equation is: J_\alpha(x) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^m}{m! \, \Gamma(m + \alpha + 1)}{\left({\frac{x}{2}}\right)}^{2 m + \alpha} Source of the bottom equation is: c 2 = a 2 + b 2 − 2 a b cos θ Browser is Chrome 8.0.552.215 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
I have the same Chrome version on WinXP Pro (SP3).
It looks perfectly fine.
Are you sure you don't have some bad plugins installed?

Same browser, Windows 7 Prof. 64 bit with same issues :/
The probability equation looks awful with the squishing.

#35This could use an extension for xypic. It would trounce the alternatives if this were added.

#36MathJax is the secret sauce behind the pretty math typesetting at The Tau Manifesto (http://tauday.com/). For what it's worth, Davide Cervone, the lead developer of MathJax, is incredibly helpful and friendly. In the process of writing The Tau Manifesto, I was running into some weird problems; Davide realized that there was a subtle MathJax bug when used with HTML5, and pushed a fix within hours of finding the problem.

#37Doesn't work as i expect in my browser.
Details?
Sorry, it works. But the Ajax is slow. When I posted my first comment, the Javascript just didn't complete in time to show me the rendered equations and hence I reported things not working. The quality is great and good job for that, however I believe you are doing a bunch of processing on the server and that's going to be an important hurdle in widespread adoption.
