If it's just the line-spacing that you are worried about,
then that can be controlled from the CSS stylesheet.

This is a short example where the technique is used:

http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/LWC/sampleMath-40styled/

The stylesheet itself is in that subdirectory,
 called  :  sampleAMS.css


In the subdirectories of  http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/LWC/
you'll find examples of other math modes, using the same
original LaTeX source.

It probably is, but there are many different technologies
that need to be combined.


Hope this helps,
