 How about a plugin adding a

+and include it in the page?  This could either render the LaTeX as a PNG via
+[[debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps
+render via [HeVeA](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/index.html) or

+a latex plugin. Examples [here](http://ng.l4x.org/latex/). Currently without image support for hevea. And the latex2html
+output has the wrong charset and no command line switch to change that. Dreamland.
