[l2h] Where may I find instructions on how to use KLaTeXFormula?

[Pat Somerville]

Thanks, Jean-Pierre Chretien, for kindly taking the time to write to me.  I 
wrote to Philippe Faist to attempt to obtain help using KLaTeXFormula using 
his e-mail address provided on http://klatexformula.sourceforge.net/, the 
Web reference you kindly provided to me.
