[Rd] HTML help

[Romain Francois]

Hi,

if the system that builds the html help page is latex capable, then it 
would not be too difficult to use the same trick wikipedia is using 
(generating a png file for each equation). Translating latex style 
markup into mathml is another game, see this: 
http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html for example.
