Hello all. I currently need to get some notes into html format for a math class, with tons of equations/symbols and graphs. I want the html to be W3C compliant, which means I really don't want to do it in word then save as a .html file.
I've used TeX before for english essays, and tex2html is a great program, so I was thinking it would probably be best to use LaTeX to do this project in. I have some questions though.

1. Anyone know a good stylesheet for notes, or can point to a page that has the basic 411 on designing stylesheets?

2. Anyone know a good tex primer in general? The only things i've used it before an english essays, so I have no clue what any of the standard \commands are for math.

3. How hard is it to include a .gif? I was thinking doing the graphs in matlab and then importating them would be the easiest way to do them.

4. Or, is there some software out there that is better suited to this purpose? I was thinking Star/OpenOffice would be great since the "save as html" option is 100% w3c complient, but it COMPLETLY screws up the formatting.


Thanks in advance,
