For some reason I recently ran into the ascii mathML project:
http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html

It's pretty slick.  It's javascript that turns simple ascii (kinda
dumbed down TeX) into MathML with is the hurribly ugly standard for
math in HTML.  Check out the examples at the bottom of that link.

Cantor looks nice, too.
