there's an experimental web service called Mathtran that converts
TeX coded (equations) to png pictures. The Open University is the
developer. Jonathan Fine alerted me to it. He is probably involved
with it.

About MathTran
This website will provide translation of mathematical content, from
TeX to MathML and vice-versa, and to graphics formats, as a web
service. The software that provides this service is open source, and
can be downloaded and installed on your own web-server or desktop
machine (Unix/Linux only at present).
We are about halfway through the project, and now have TeX running as
a daemon, providing genuine TeX typesetting as a web service. Please
click on [Render] above to see it work. Our next priorities are
translation to and from MathML, and supporting some LaTeX extensions
to the TeX math notation (such as \frac).
MathTran is being developed at The Open University (the UK's leading
provider of distance learning) and is funded by JISC (a UK funding
body that supports innovation in education and research IT) and the
OU. The project thanks JISC and the OU for their support.
