 <p> <b>Please note:</b> If you're writing your own plugin for mimeTeX,  
     please don't write php code using <b>system(&nbsp;)</b>, or any other  
     shell escape mechanism, just to cache images.  Use mimeTeX's  
     &nbsp; <b>-DCACHEPATH=\&quot;<i>path/</i>\&quot;</b> &nbsp;  
     <a href="#options">compile&nbsp;option</a> instead.  
     <b>system(&nbsp;)</b> raises security  
     issues, either real ones if used carelessly, or just in the minds of  
     system administrators.  Either way, I've received many emails from  
     people unable to use mimeTeX because of unnecessary <b>system(&nbsp;)</b>  
     calls prohibited by security-conscious sysadmins.  MimeTeX itself poses  
     minimal risk when used as illustrated above, but you're responsible  
     for any plugin/wrapper script you write around it. </p>  
   
 <h3> <a name="valignment">  
 Vertical alignment<font size=5>...</font></a> </h3>  
 <p> An image like  
     <a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV1" onclick="eqntext('imageAV1')"  
     src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?  
     \normalsize f(x)=\int\limits_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt"  
     alt="" border=0 align=middle></a>  
     doesn't look as good as the same image  
     <a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV2" onclick="eqntext('imageAV2')"  
     src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?  
     \normalsize f(x)=\int\limits_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt"  
     alt="" border=0 style="Vertical-Align:-11px"></a>  
     that's vertically aligned with your surrounding text.  
     Along with several standard   
     <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html">  
     HTTP&nbsp;header&nbsp;fields</a>, mimeTeX also emits a special  
     &nbsp; <b>Vertical-Align:&nbsp;&#150;<i>nn</i></b> &nbsp;  
     header, where <b>&#150;<i>nn</i></b> is the number of pixels  
     (usually negative as illustrated) needed for a  
     &nbsp; <b>style="Vertical-Align:&nbsp;&#150;<i>nn</i>&nbsp;px"</b>  
     &nbsp; attribute in the <b>&lt;img&gt;</b>&nbsp;tag used to  
     render your expression. </p>  
   
 <p> But mimeTeX's special Vertical-Align: header  
     is unrecognized and ignored by your browser.  You have to get the  
     header, interpret it, and write the corresponding &lt;img&gt; tag.  
     The only feasible way to do all this is using a scripting language,  
     as illustrated by the following, rather naive, php code </p>  
     <pre class="medium" style="margin-top:.5em;margin-bottom:.5em"  
 >   &lt;?php  
    $mimetexurl = "http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?";  
    function verticalalign( $expression ) {  
       global $mimetexurl;  
       // note: curl_init() stops at the first whitespace char in $url argument  
       $expression = ereg_replace(" ","~",$expression); // so remove whitespace  
       $url     = $mimetexurl . $expression;  
       $valign  = "0";  
       $ch      = curl_init( $url );  
       curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );  
       curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true );  
       $gif     = curl_exec( $ch );  
       $errno   = curl_errno( $ch );  
       curl_close( $ch );  
       if ( $errno == 0 ) {  
         $fields = explode("Vertical-Align:",$gif);  
         $vfield = trim($fields[1]);  
         $fldlen = strspn($vfield,"+-0123456789");  
         $valign = substr($vfield,0,$fldlen); }  
       return $valign;  
       }  
    function mimetextag( $expression ) {  
       global $mimetexurl;  
       $valign = verticalalign($expression);  
       $url    = $mimetexurl . $expression;  
       echo ' &lt;img src="',$url,'" ';  
       echo ' style="Vertical-Align:',$valign,'px" ';  
       echo ' alt="" border=0&gt;', "\n";  
       }  
    ?&gt;</pre>  
   
 <p> Now you can write &nbsp;  
     &lt;?php&nbsp;mimetextag('\frac12\left(a^2+b^2\right)');&nbsp;?&gt;  
     wherever you want to see  
     <a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV5" onclick="eqntext('imageAV5')"  
     src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?  
     \normalsize\frac12\left(a^2+b^2\right)"  
     alt="" border=0 style="Vertical-Align:-5px"></a>  
     correctly aligned.  <!-- Besides making you escape backslashes  
     (each&nbsp;&#092;&nbsp;must be written&nbsp;&#092;&#092;), -->  
     This code calls mimeTeX twice to render each expression,  
     once to get the Vertical-Align: header and build an  
     &lt;img&gt; tag, and then again to render that tag.  
     If you're a good php programmer and write better code,  
     please email me a copy. </p>  
   
 <p> If you're using mimeTeX's  
     &nbsp; <b>-DCACHEPATH=\&quot;<i>path</i>/\&quot;</b> &nbsp;  
     <a href="#options">compile&nbsp;option</a>, prefix your  
     <b><i>path</i>/</b> with a leading&nbsp;<b>&#037;</b> and write &nbsp;  
     <b>-DCACHEPATH=\&quot;&#037;<i>path</i>/\&quot;</b> &nbsp; instead.  
     That leading&nbsp;<b>&#037;</b> won't become part of your cache  
     directory's <b><i>path</i>/</b>, but it will signal mimeTeX  
     to cache headers along with each image.  
     Otherwise, the Vertical-Align: information is lost,  
     and attempts to align cached images will fail. </p>

               One particular "gotcha" is that mimeTeX bindings

               <b>x^\frac12</b> must be written <b>x^{\frac12}</b>.

               the same way <b>x^\alpha12</b> would be interpreted, which is
               nonsense for <b>\frac</b>.  The same "gotcha" also applies to
               other combinations of commands, e.g., you must write

          <li> And there are various additional syntactic and cosmetic
               differences between LaTeX and mimeTeX.  For example,
               bounding boxes for mimeTeX's character bitmaps don't
               accommodate italic corrections.  Therefore, an expression
               like <b>\int\nolimits_a^b</b> renders

             math&nbsp;mode expressions, but flagged as errors by LaTeX.       If your expression contains some unprintable character
             <!-- But note well: if you take advantage of mimeTeX extensions,       (meaning any character mimeTeX has no bitmap for),
             your math&nbsp;mode expressions will no longer be accepted by       then just &nbsp;

    <p> The preceding example illustrates a pretty trivial error.
        Any non-trivial errors in your expression are likely to
        go unrecognized and unreported by mimeTeX, and to render
        unexpected images.  While checking your input expression
        for syntax errors, keep in mind the following points
        about mimeTeX's behavior: </p>
        <ul>
          <li> An unmatched left brace &nbsp; <b>{</b> &nbsp; is matched
               by mimeTeX with a "phantom" right brace &nbsp; <b>}</b> &nbsp;
               that's imagined to be at the end of your expression. </li>
          <li> Likewise, an unmatched &nbsp; <b>\left(</b>, &nbsp;
               or <b>\left\{</b> &nbsp; or <b>\left\</b><i>anything</i>, &nbsp;
               is matched by mimeTeX with a "phantom" &nbsp; <b>\right.</b>
               &nbsp; at the end of your expression. </li>
          <li> On the other hand, an unmatched right brace &nbsp; <b>}</b>
               &nbsp; is displayed in place, as if you had typed \rbrace. </li>
          <li> But an unmatched &nbsp; <b>\right\</b><i>anything</i> &nbsp;
               is interpreted as an
               <a href="http://www.forkosh.com/mimetexmanual.html?abbreviations"
               target="_top">abbreviation</a> for <b>\</b>rightarrow
               followed by <b>\</b><i>anything</i>.  For example, &nbsp;
               <b>\leff(&nbsp;abc&nbsp;\right)&nbsp;def</b> &nbsp; renders &nbsp;
                 <a href="#preview"><img id="messages5"
                 onclick="eqntext('messages5')"

   <p> <b>Please note:</b> If you're writing your own plugin for mimeTeX,
       please don't write php code using <b>system(&nbsp;)</b>, or any other
       shell escape mechanism, just to cache images.  Use mimeTeX's
       &nbsp; <b>-DCACHEPATH=\&quot;<i>path/</i>\&quot;</b> &nbsp;
       <a href="#options">compile&nbsp;option</a> instead.
       <b>system(&nbsp;)</b> raises security
       issues, either real ones if used carelessly, or just in the minds of
       system administrators.  Either way, I've received many emails from
       people unable to use mimeTeX because of unnecessary <b>system(&nbsp;)</b>
       calls prohibited by security-conscious sysadmins.  MimeTeX itself poses
       minimal risk when used as illustrated above, but you're responsible
       for any plugin/wrapper script you write around it. </p>
   
   <h3> <a name="valignment">
   Vertical alignment<font size=5>...</font></a> </h3>
   <p> An image like
       <a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV1" onclick="eqntext('imageAV1')"
       src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?
       \normalsize f(x)=\int\limits_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt"
       alt="" border=0 align=middle></a>
       doesn't look as good as the same image
       <a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV2" onclick="eqntext('imageAV2')"
       src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?
       \normalsize f(x)=\int\limits_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt"
       alt="" border=0 style="Vertical-Align:-26px"></a>
       that's vertically aligned with your surrounding text.
       Along with several standard 
       <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html">
       HTTP&nbsp;header&nbsp;fields</a>, mimeTeX also emits a special
       &nbsp; <b>Vertical-Align:&nbsp;&#150;<i>nn</i></b> &nbsp;
       header, where <b>&#150;<i>nn</i></b> is the number of pixels
       (usually negative as illustrated) needed for a
       &nbsp; <b>style="Vertical-Align:&nbsp;&#150;<i>nn</i>&nbsp;px"</b>
       &nbsp; attribute in the <b>&lt;img&gt;</b>&nbsp;tag used to
       render your expression. This Vertical-Align:&nbsp;header
       is obtained by placing the directive &nbsp;<b>\depth</b>&nbsp;
       anywhere in your expression. </p>
   
   <p> But mimeTeX's special Vertical-Align: header
       is unrecognized and ignored by your browser.  You have to get the
       header, interpret it, and write the corresponding &lt;img&gt; tag.
       The only feasible way to do all this is using a scripting language,
       as illustrated by the following, rather naive, php code </p>
       <pre class="medium" style="margin-top:.5em;margin-bottom:.5em"
   >   &lt;?php
      $mimetexurl = "http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?";
      function verticalalign( $expression ) {
         global $mimetexurl;
         // note: curl_init() stops at the first whitespace char in $url argument
         $expression = ereg_replace(" ","~",$expression); // so remove whitespace
         $url     = $mimetexurl . "\depth~" . $expression;
         $valign  = "0";
         $ch      = curl_init( $url );
         curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
         curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true );
         $gif     = curl_exec( $ch );
         $errno   = curl_errno( $ch );
         curl_close( $ch );
         if ( $errno == 0 ) {
           $fields = explode("Vertical-Align:",$gif);
           $vfield = trim($fields[1]);
           $fldlen = strspn($vfield,"+-0123456789");
           $valign = substr($vfield,0,$fldlen); }
         return $valign;
         }
      function mimetextag( $expression ) {
         global $mimetexurl;
         $valign = verticalalign($expression);
         $url    = $mimetexurl . "\depth~" . $expression;
         echo ' &lt;img src="',$url,'" ';
         echo ' style="Vertical-Align:',$valign,'px" ';
         echo ' alt="" border=0&gt;', "\n";
         }
      ?&gt;</pre>
   
   <p> Now you can write &nbsp;
       &lt;?php&nbsp;mimetextag('\frac12\left(a^2+b^2\right)');&nbsp;?&gt;
       wherever you want to see
       <a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV5" onclick="eqntext('imageAV5')"
       src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?
       \normalsize\frac12\left(a^2+b^2\right)"
       alt="" border=0 style="Vertical-Align:-7px"></a>
       correctly aligned. Note that the php code automatically
       prepends &nbsp;<b>\depth</b>&nbsp; to your expression for you.
       <!-- Besides making you escape backslashes
       (each&nbsp;&#092;&nbsp;must be written&nbsp;&#092;&#092;), -->
       (Also note that this code calls mimeTeX twice to render each
       expression, once to get the Vertical-Align: header and build
       an &lt;img&gt; tag, and then again to render that tag.
       If you're a good php programmer and write better code,
       please email me a copy.) </p>
   
   <p> If you're using mimeTeX's
       &nbsp; <b>-DCACHEPATH=\&quot;<i>path</i>/\&quot;</b> &nbsp;
       <a href="#options">compile&nbsp;option</a>, you can request
       that all images be cached with Vertical-Align:&nbsp;headers,
       whether or not they contain the \depth directive. Prefix your
       <b><i>path</i>/</b> with a leading&nbsp;<b>&#037;</b> and write &nbsp;
       <b>-DCACHEPATH=\&quot;&#037;<i>path</i>/\&quot;</b> &nbsp; instead.
       That leading&nbsp;<b>&#037;</b> won't become part of your cache
       directory's <b><i>path</i>/</b>, but it will signal mimeTeX
       to cache headers along with each image. (In this case,
       the directive &nbsp;<b>\nodepth</b>&nbsp; suppresses
       mimeTeX's header caching for that image.)
       <!-- Otherwise, the Vertical-Align: information is lost,
       and attempts to align cached images will fail. --> </p>

         <b>\compose{\LARGE O}{\normalsize c}</b> &nbsp; produces &nbsp;       <!-- the same as the <b><i>base</i></b>. -->
        completely ignored.
        That means the <b><i>base</i></b> remains positioned in your expression
        just as if it had been rendered alone, while the <b><i>overlay</i></b>
        is moved around, vertically as well as horizontally, to accommodate it.

    <p> Vertical offset can be obtained using a <b>\raisebox</b>
        in either the <b><i>base</i></b> or <b><i>overlay</i></b>
        expression, or in both. (Although, note that 
        <b>\compose{\raisebox{10}{<i>base</i>}}{<i>overlay</i>}</b>
        renders identically to
        <b>\raisebox{10}{\compose{<i>base</i>}{<i>overlay</i>}}</b>,
        so applying <b>\raisebox</b> to the <b><i>base</i></b>
        expression is typically unnecessary.)
        Vertical <b><i>overlay</i></b> offset is relative to the

    <p class="continue"> mimeTeX can evaluate arithmetic expressions,
        which is a feature intended primarily for use in
        <a href="#newcommands">\newcommand's</a> discussed above.
        Expressions can be built up from the following elements </p>
        <ul>
          <li> digits &nbsp; <b>0</b>-<b>9</b>
            &nbsp; and numbers composed of uninterrupted (no whitespace)
            sequences of digits, </li>
          <li> binary operators &nbsp;
            <b>+</b>,&nbsp;<b>-</b>,&nbsp;<b>*</b>,&nbsp;<b>/</b>,&nbsp;<b>%</b>
            &nbsp; (<b>+</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>-</b> can be unary, preceding
            the first number in an expression, and&nbsp;<b>%</b>&nbsp;is
            the modulo operator), </li>
          <li> balanced &nbsp; <b>(</b>&nbsp;...&nbsp;<b>)</b>
            &nbsp; parentheses nested to any level (see below), </li>
          <li> whitespace anywhere
            (except between digits comprising a number), </li>
          <li> One additional construction interpreted by <b>\eval{&nbsp;}</b>
            is similar to (but not identical to) the
            <a href="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_(programming)#As_a_ternary_operator"
            target="_top">?:&nbsp;conditional</a>, as follows.
            The expression <b>(i?v0:v1:v2:<i>etc</i>)</b>, usually
            parenthesized as illustrated, evaluates to <b>v0</b>
            if <b>i</b> evaluates to <b>0</b>, or evaluates to <b>v1</b>
            if <b>i</b> evaluates to <b>1</b>, etc. If <b>i&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;0</b>
            then <b>v0</b> is used, and if <b>i</b> is too large, the last
            <b>v</b> is used. All components, <b>i</b> and all <b>v</b>'s,
            can themselves be expressions, even another
            <b>(i?v0:v1:v2:<i>etc</i>)</b>, which in this case must be
            parenthesized. The only situation where parentheses aren't
            required is when <b>i?v0:v1:v2:<i>etc</i></b> comprises
            your entire expression.
            For example, <br> <nobr>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
              <b>\eval{1+2?10:11:12:13:14:15}</b> renders
             <a href="#preview"><img id="eval1" onclick="eqntext('eval1')"
             src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\large\eval{1+2?10:11:12:13:14:15}"
             alt="" border=0 align=bottom></a></nobr></li>
          <li> and <u>&nbsp;most&nbsp;importantly,&nbsp;</u>
              the built-in variables<br>
              &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b>fs</b> for current fontsize and<br>
              &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b>unitlength</b> for unitlength<br>
            which provide the capability for useful constructions,
            as follows... </li>
        </ul>
   
    <p> All optional <b>[</b>&nbsp;<b>]</b> and mandatory
        <b>{</b>&nbsp;<b>}</b> numeric arguments for &nbsp;
        <a href="#rule">\rule[lift]{width}{height}</a>, &nbsp;
        <a href="#compose">\compose[offset]{&nbsp;}{&nbsp;}</a>, &nbsp;
        <a href="#raiserotate">\raisebox{height}{&nbsp;}</a>, &nbsp;
        <a href="#raiserotate">\rotatebox{angle}{&nbsp;}</a>, &nbsp; and &nbsp;
        <a href="#arrows">\longarrow[width]</a> &nbsp;
        can be expressions as described above, rather than just
        numeric constants. By using the <b>fs</b> variable, you can
        construct <a href="#newcommands">\newcommand</a>
        expressions that properly scale with font&nbsp;size.
        For example, the <b>\mapsto</b> symbol is not explicitly provided
        in any mimeTeX font, but is instead constructed by the
        embedded <a href="#newcommands">\newcommand</a><br>
          <nobr>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<b>
          { "\\mapsto", NULL, "{\\rule[fs/2]{1}{5+fs}\\hspace{-99}\\to}" },</b>
          </nobr><br>
        where \rule's [lift]=fs/2 and {height}=5+fs are scaled by
        font&nbsp;size to render symbols<br>
        &nbsp;
         <a href="#preview"><img id="eval2" onclick="eqntext('eval2')"
         src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\small\text\begin{array}{rrl}
         \backslash tiny & fs=\tiny\eval{fs} & \tiny\mapsto \\
         \backslash small & fs=\small\eval{fs} & \small\mapsto \\
         \backslash normalsize & fs=\normal\eval{fs} & \normal\mapsto\\
         \backslash large & fs=\large\eval{fs} & \large\mapsto \\
         etc. & &
         \end{array}" alt="" border=0 align=middle></a><br>
        whose rendering automatically varies appropriately with font&nbsp;size.
        This kind of <a href="#newcommands">\newcommand</a> construction
        is the primary use intended for mimeTeX's expression evaluation feature.
        </p>
   
    <p> But mimeTeX also provides the <b>\eval{<i>expression</i>}</b>
        command to make the expression evaluation feature render
        &quot;visible&quot; results. It's not particularly useful,
        but an expression like &nbsp; <b>1+2+3+4+5=\eval{1+2+3+4+5}</b> &nbsp;
        renders &nbsp;
         <a href="#preview"><img id="eval2" onclick="eqntext('eval2')"
         src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\small 1+2+3+4+5=\eval{1+2+3+4+5}"
         alt="" border=0 align="bottom"></a>. </p>
   
    <p> Finally, one little &quot;gotcha&quot; is mimeTeX's
        order&nbsp;of&nbsp;evaluation when interpreting expressions.
        Parentheses are respected as you'd expect. But within
        &nbsp; <b>(</b>...<b>)</b> &nbsp; parentheses, or in an
        unparenthesized expression, mimeTeX finds the first (reading
        from the left) operator, then iteratively evaluates the
        separate subexpressions to that operator's left and to its right,
        and then finally combines those two separate results.
        So an expression like <b>2*3+4</b>&nbsp;renders&nbsp;<b>14</b>,
        and you need to write <b>(2*3)+4</b>&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;<b>10</b>.
        </p>
   
   
   <h3> <a name="magstep"> \magstep{&nbsp;} &nbsp; and &nbsp;
        \magbox{&nbsp;}{&nbsp;}<font size=5>...</font></a> </h3>
   
    <p class="continue">
        &nbsp;<b>\magstep{<i>magnification</i>}</b>, placed anywhere
        within an expression, magnifies the entire expression
        by an integer factor <b>1&lt;=<i>magnification</i>&lt;=10</b>
        in both width and height.
        Each single pixel thus becomes a square box, <i>e.g.</i>,
        for <b><i>magnification</i>=2</b> each single pixel becomes
        a four-pixel square box with dimensions&nbsp;<b>2</b>-by-<b>2</b>.
        This compromises mimeTeX's anti-aliasing algorithm,
        and the resulting image is both hazy/blurry and jagged/staircased
        compared to an unmagnified image of the same expression.
        For example, at <b>\LARGE</b> size,<br>
         <nobr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp &nbsp;     
           <b>f(x)=x^2</b> &nbsp;
           renders &nbsp;
           <a href="#preview"><img id="magbox1" onclick="eqntext('magbox1')"
           src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\LARGE f(x)=x^2"
           alt="" border=0 align="absmiddle"></a> &nbsp; and </nobr><br>
         <nobr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp &nbsp;     
           <b>\magstep{2} f(x)=x^2</b> &nbsp;
           renders &nbsp;
           <a href="#preview"><img id="magbox2" onclick="eqntext('magbox2')"
           src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\LARGE\magstep{2} f(x)=x^2"
           alt="" border=0 align="absmiddle"></a>&nbsp;, &nbsp; whereas </nobr><br>
         at mimeTeX's largest &quot;native&quot; font&nbsp;size, <br>
         <nobr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp &nbsp;     
           <b>\Huge f(x)=x^2</b> &nbsp;
           renders &nbsp;
           <a href="#preview"><img id="magbox3" onclick="eqntext('magbox3')"
           src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\HUGE f(x)=x^2"
           alt="" border=0 align="absmiddle"></a>&nbsp;. </nobr><br>
        Nevertheless, if you still want to render images larger than
        mimeTeX's <b>\Huge</b> size, then <b>\magstep{<i>magnification</i>}</b>
        may render almost-acceptable results. </p>
   
    <p> To magnify just part of an expression,
        you can use <b>\magbox{<i>magnification</i>}{<i>expression</i>}</b>,
        which only magnifies each pixel within the enclosed
        <b>{<i>expression</i>}</b>, again
        by an integer factor <b>1&lt;=<i>magnification</i>&lt;=10</b>
        in both width and height, and also adjusts the baseline accordingly.
        But <b>\magbox</b> is applied directly to mimeTeX's black-and-white
        bitmap <u><b><i>&nbsp;before&nbsp;anti-aliasing&nbsp;</i></b></u>.
        At the present time, this virtually completely defeats
        mimeTeX's anti-aliasing algorithm, and the resulting image
        exhibits even more pronounced jagged-line/staircase effects.
        For example, <br>
         <nobr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp &nbsp;     
           <b>\LARGE f(x)={\magbox{2}{x}}^2</b> &nbsp;
           renders &nbsp;
           <a href="#preview"><img id="magbox5" onclick="eqntext('magbox5')"
           src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\LARGE f(x)={\magbox{2}{x}}^2"

   <h3> mimeTeX Errors<font size=5>...</font> </h3>
   
    <p> Any (La)TeX error is typically also a mimeTeX error.
        However, mimeTeX has no command line interface or
        <b>.</b>log file for reporting errors.  Its only
        communication with you is through the mimeTeX image
        rendered by your browser.  So error messages are embedded
        in that image whenever feasible.  For example,
        suppose you want to see
         <a href="#preview"><img id="messages1" onclick="eqntext('messages1')"
         src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\normalsize\alpha\beta\gamma\delta"
         border=0 align=bottom></a>, but you mistakenly type
         &nbsp; <b>\alpha\bethe\gamma\delta</b> &nbsp; instead.
        Then the image rendered is
         <a href="#preview"><img id="messages2" onclick="eqntext('messages2')"
         src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\normalsize\alpha\bethe\gamma\delta"
         border=0 align=bottom></a>, indicating the unrecognized
        <b>[\bethe?]</b> where you wanted to type &nbsp; <b>\beta</b> &nbsp;
        and hoped to see
         <a href="#preview"><img id="messages3" onclick="eqntext('messages3')"
         src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\normalsize\bf\beta"
         border=0 align=bottom></a>.
        If your expression contains some unprintable character
        (meaning any character mimeTeX has no bitmap for),
        then just &nbsp;
         <a href="#preview"><img id="messages4" onclick="eqntext('messages4')"
         src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\small\bf[?]"
         border=0 align=bottom></a> &nbsp; is displayed in the
        corresponding position. </p>
   
    <p> The preceding example illustrates a pretty trivial error.
        Any non-trivial errors in your expression are likely to
        go unrecognized and unreported by mimeTeX, and to render
        unexpected images.  While checking your input expression
        for syntax errors, keep in mind the following points
        about mimeTeX's behavior: </p>
        <ul>
          <li> An unmatched left brace &nbsp; <b>{</b> &nbsp; is matched
               by mimeTeX with a "phantom" right brace &nbsp; <b>}</b> &nbsp;
               that's imagined to be at the end of your expression. </li>
          <li> Likewise, an unmatched &nbsp; <b>\left(</b>, &nbsp;
               or <b>\left\{</b> &nbsp; or <b>\left\</b><i>anything</i>, &nbsp;
               is matched by mimeTeX with a "phantom" &nbsp; <b>\right.</b>
               &nbsp; at the end of your expression. </li>
          <li> On the other hand, an unmatched right brace &nbsp; <b>}</b>
               &nbsp; is displayed in place, as if you had typed \rbrace. </li>
          <li> But an unmatched &nbsp; <b>\right\</b><i>anything</i> &nbsp;
               is interpreted as an abbreviation for <b>\</b>rightarrow
               followed by <b>\</b><i>anything</i>.  For example, &nbsp;
               <b>\leff(&nbsp;abc&nbsp;\right)&nbsp;def</b> &nbsp; renders &nbsp;
                 <a href="#preview"><img id="messages5"
                 onclick="eqntext('messages5')"
