[. . . ] This approach should be used when converting a Word document into a Web page using MathPage is not appropriate. It involves creating GIF equation files and inserting them into your pages. As MathType can output GIF files, it is an excellent tool this purpose. MathType will even generate the HTML (HyperText Markup Language -- the basic language of the Web) needed to link your Web page to the newly generated MathType GIF file. MathType-generated GIF files have several advantages over GIF files produced in other ways: They can be anti-aliased to produce better-looking smoothed edges. They are small (typically being monochrome), allowing for faster downloads. They can be edited at a later date in MathType. 60 Chapter 4: Tutorials People can save the GIF file from the Web page, open it with MathType and then place it into other documents in any of MathType's supported formats A including WMF, EPS, L TEX, MathML (and PICT on Macintosh computers). Adobe Acrobat Another approach for creating Web documents is to use Adobe Acrobat's PDF file format. Chapter 5 contains information about this approach. Inserting a GIF File Into a Document 1. In MathType, choose the Web and GIF Preferences command from the Preferences menu. This dialog contains options for setting the GIF file's resolution (dots per inch), the image's background, and the HTML code to generate when the GIF file is saved. For now, check the "Copy HTML/Text to clipboard on GIF file save" item. 3. Create a simple equation in MathType and choose Save As on the File Menu. Automatic File Numbering If you are creating lots of equation files MathType can number them for you. Select GIF File Format, type in the file name you desire, and save the equation in the same folder as your HTML document. MathType will generate HTML code for this equation and copy it to the clipboard. If you are using a text editor you can paste the HTML into your document. If you are using a WYSIWYG HTML editor you will have to use its method for inserting plain HTML code (look for an "Insert HTML" or "View Source" command). You will see the equation embedded in your Web page. You can anti-alias MathType equations to improve their appearance in Web pages. This technique smoothes their edges and makes them look less jagged. 8. Switch back to MathType, open the Web and GIF Preferences dialog, check "Smooth edges (anti-aliasing)" and then close the dialog. Background Color The Web and GIF Preferences dialog lets you control the background color of the equation, including making it transparent. 9. Save the MathType equation, then switch back to your browser and refresh the current page. Anti-aliasing works better for some equations than others (in general it's better on large equations than small ones). The default HTML code generated by MathType includes the GIF filename and its dimensions, and is sufficient for most cases. You can modify this code in the Web and GIF Preferences dialog; consult this dialog's Help for more details.
