write scientific papers in the TeX or LaTeX formats, there is a new
Netscape plugin at;

Techexplorer is a Web browser plug-in that dynamically formats and
displays documents containing scientific and mathematical expressions
coded with the popular TeX and LaTeX markup languages.
With techexplorer, Web users can publish or read scientific articles,
books, and journals, extending the commercial reach of these scientific
literature to readers who don't have access to hardcopy. techexplorer
can also be used to optimize the readability of on-line documentation.
techexplorer supports a large subset of TeX and LaTeX markup that
includes all the tags needed for electronic publishing. The plug-in uses
system fonts, such as TrueType, rather than the Computer Modern fonts
supported by TeX and LaTeX. It also supports hypertext, multimedia,
pop-up menus, and other document extensions to produce engaging,
interactive and highly functional scientific literature for the Web.
Because techexplorer documents are small in size, they format and
display quickly. techexplorer is ideal for working with a series of
hyperlinked documents. techexplorer documents can link to other Web
documents, even if they are not techexplorer documents.
techexplorer is a self-installing plug-in that supports Netscape
Navigator 2.0 for Windows 95 or Windows NT. Once installed, techexplorer
auto-registers with Navigator to handle Web documents with file
extensions .tex or .tcx., or with MIME type application/x-tex or
application/x-techexplorer.
