I am trying to write up a page with Math formulas (statistical ones)
~
http://www.geocities.com/tekmonk2005/OnLineStats02.html
~
The thing is that I am not able to make it look OK using HTML. I
would like to somehow mark up parenthesis using the character entities
for vertical bars and solid front and back slashes, but
~
<td align="left">|</td>
~
doesn't appear to be working
~
Does it make sense to waste your time learning MathML (http://
www.w3.org/TR/REC-MathML/) or is it better using a format like PDF?
~
Also I would prefer to use and authoring tool like scribus and save
files as PDF. Any tutorials that make sense out there. I have had
cases in which "Google" made me waste time. This is why I would rather
ask

If you want PS or PDF output, you should have a look at TeX or LaTeX.
